One of two unique workingmen's cottages etched in history and sandwiched between apartment blocks in Auckland's CBD is going under the hammer. The original door and oversized key is one of its original features along with turned balustrades. The Nicholas St cottages were saved from demolition in 2005 by builder Marx Jones, who renovated them, staying true to the era with new and recycled materials. • Original features include stained windows, front door with large key and turned balustrades. Zara Kehoe, who is marketing the property with Angela Saunders from Ray White, said the owners had loved living there.
