Olveston Historic Home, Dunedin Overview

The Olveston Historic Home is an authentic home that shows the lifestyle of a wealthy merchant family in the early 1900s as the family occupied it from 1906 to 1966. It was opened to the public in 1967 and has been maintained in its original state ever since, barely changing anything about the house or the objects within it.

Sir Ernest George designed it for the family of David Theomin, a wealthy businessman in Dunedin and a collector and philanthropist. Unfortunately, the two children did not have any heirs, so when the last occupant, Dorothy Theomin, who was the daughter of David Theomin, died in 1966, the house and its contents were gifted to the City of Dunedin.
