Caccia Birch House

The colonial homestead at 130 Te Awe Awe Street features native timber weatherboard construction and stands within three acres of landscaped gardens.

Danish architect Ludolph Georg West designed this residence in 1892 for Norwegian sawmiller Jacob Nannestad before it became a temporary Government House from 1908 to 1910.

The property includes educational exhibits in the Coach House Museum, displaying photographs and artifacts from previous owners and periods of occupation.

The property functions as a conference and events venue under the management of Palmerston North City Council, offering spaces for meetings and celebrations.

The grounds contain century-old botanical specimens, including a 100-year-old wisteria vine, American tulip trees, and Himalayan cedars.
