Extended in 1841 from the waterfront behind
Manners St to Ingestre (Now Vivian) St. In 1945 a worthy
citizen plodded thru fern & ti-trees to Te Aro flat looking
for a surveryors peg which had been driven in at the corner of
Cuba & Dixon. Upon this spot a small house & shop
was erected in which a very successful drapery business was
carried on by 2 ladies names SMITH. Later Mr J SMITH (No
relation) bought thebusiness which became long and favourably
known as Te Aro House.There was only one house in Cuba St in
1850. In 1857 a 5 roomed house and garden was offered for sale by
Mr W.H. ROTERMUND. The garden was stocked withfruit trees, a well
of water & outhouse. in 1863, anarea known as Market Reserve,
offered stalls whence country settlers might dispose of their
produce but practicallyno effort was made to use these
facilities. Later one end was converted to a morgue, and a hotel
built. this was the first Royal Oak, destroyed by fire in 1879:
