Highwic (Newmarket)

New Zealand / Auckland / Newmarket
 house, historical building

Victorian Residence of the Buckland family. House museum operated by the New Zealand Historic Places Trust.

Highwic was begun in 1862 by Alfred Buckland, one of Auckland’s most substantial land owners, and his wife Eliza. It was extended in 1873 in the style of the original, which had been copied from American A.J Downings patternbook ‘The Architecture of Country Houses’.

Highwic was home to Buckland’s 21 children (he remarried after his first wife's death) and remained in the family until sold in 1978.
