Wellington - Katherine Mansfield's Birthplace

From the north end of Mulgrave Street, Murphy Street continues northwest passing the Katherine Mansfield Memorial Park (presented to the city by her father). It crosses the urban expressway and runs into Tinakori Road, at the far end of which (No. 25) is the plain wooden house, very much in the style of old Thorndon, in which Katherine Mansfield was born in 1888. The house, which was built by her father in the year that she was born, has been restored to its original condition and is now a museum.
