Te Whare Waiutuutu Kate Sheppard House

The timber residence at 83 Clyde Road features slate roofing and contains exhibition spaces dedicated to New Zealand's women's suffrage movement.

Kate Sheppard, who led New Zealand's women's suffrage campaign, lived in this house from 1888 to 1902 during the period of her most influential activism.

The house serves as a museum where visitors learn about the successful campaign that made New Zealand the first country to grant women voting rights.

Heritage New Zealand maintains the property and offers educational programs about women's rights through guided tours and temporary exhibitions.

The residence stands as a physical connection to the exact location where New Zealand's most important suffrage petitions were organized and prepared.
