The Caversham house at 6 Baker St was built in 1907 and was the first house designed by Edmund Anscombe, the Dunedin architect who went on to design the University of Otago’s School of Mines building, Marama Hall, the Medical School’s Lindo Ferguson Building, Otago Girls’ High School and the Evening Star (Allied Press) buildings.
The building was cut into two yesterday, then loaded on to trucks for the 240km journey.
It was owned by Blue Sky Property Group director Lyndon Fairbairn and has been sold to a couple in Athol, to make way for six two-bedroom townhouses.
