Money Makes the Rooms Go Round

Discover how wealth shaped the design, layout and use of rooms in New Zealand's grand homes during the 1890s.

Why did some Victorian homes have ballrooms, billiard rooms and libraries while others centred on the kitchen? Using examples from New Zealand's grand houses, Adrian Humphris explores how wealth, status and changing lifestyles influenced domestic architecture during the 1890s.
