Fig. 145.—Mr. Buick's House, Pito-one. Messrs. James Collett and D. Buick planted a forest of pine trees when the one-storied portion of this house was built in the early forties, and when Mr. Buick built the house for his young bride. Some of the trees were growing until 1927, when the house was demolished, the land subdivided, and Kensington Avenue was formed. The cyclopedia of N.Z., page 817, shows the clump of trees referred to, at the extreme left of a view taken in 1895.
