Riccarton House, Victorian heritage house in Christchurch, New Zealand.
The two-story residence displays architectural elements from different periods, featuring matai timber framing, kahikatea weatherboards, and multiple wings added through expansions.
Jane Deans commissioned the construction of this residence in 1855 following her husband John's death, with major additions completed in 1874 and 1900.
The residence represents early European settlement in Canterbury, maintaining strong connections to the Scottish heritage of the Deans family through its architecture and furnishings.
The property functions as a restaurant and event venue, offering guided tours of historical rooms filled with period furniture and original family artifacts.
The house stands adjacent to Riccarton Bush, containing the last remaining stand of original podocarp forest that once covered the Canterbury plains.
