Melrose House

Blipmate and I went to Nelson today and after finishing the few bits and pieces we had to do, we went to Melrose House for lunch.

Melrose House is a beautiful old  home built around 1879 for Charles Watts, an early settler in Nelson. It was gifted to the city and almost turned down by the Council who were  concerned that the old home would be a burden on the rate payer.

Today the much admired house belongs to the people of Nelson.
