Antrim House, Residential building in Wellington Central, New Zealand.

Antrim House stands as a two-story structure with 18 rooms, constructed primarily from totara wood and featuring a central tower with an iron crown.

Built in 1905 for Robert Hannah, who started as a cobbler and grew his business into a chain of ten shoe stores and a factory by 1893.

The interior displays New Zealand craftsmanship through pressed metal ceilings, hand-crafted kauri panels, a grand staircase, and detailed leadlight windows.

The building underwent seismic strengthening, roof replacement, and repainting works from October 2022 through May 2024, including dome reconstruction by specialists.

Originally overlooking Wellington Harbour, the house now stands among modern high-rise buildings, representing the evolution of the city's landscape over time.
