Conserving Frank’s House

Conserving Frank’s House
A key step in the process of turning Frank’s house into a national literary museum is the conservation plan -- recently completed by Richard Bollard, senior heritage consultant with Devonport firm Salmond Reed Architects. The draft plan will go to the Sargeson Trust, the North Shore City Council and the Historic Places Trust for comment. Once comments have been incorporated, the final plan will become the Trust’s reference document for the ongoing care, protection and maintenance of the house. It includes a condition assessment and a list of maintenance and repair recommendations.
