Chippenham Lodge, Historic lodge in St Albans, Christchurch, New Zealand.
The ten-room brick building features architectural elements from the 1860s, designed by Benjamin Mountfort for the Goldney brothers from Wiltshire.
Construction of Chippenham Lodge began in 1863, with extensions added in 1865 after Henry Mytton purchased the property from the original owners.
During the 1970s, the lodge transformed into a commune where organizations like HART and Greenpeace Aotearoa New Zealand held their first meetings.
Located at 51 Browns Road, the structure requires strengthening work and repairs, with proposals to relocate it near the Christchurch Botanic Gardens.
The lodge changed from a private residence to a commune in 1971, housing twenty residents including future cabinet minister Marian Hobbs.
