PHOTO: JOHN NICHOLSON Evans Bay’s colourful boatsheds were probably built in the late 1920s and earlier 1930s after the completion of the Evans Bay seawall, a document from the Greater Wellington Regional Council says.
One of the 15 historic and picture-postcard timber boat sheds on Evans Bay in Wellington has been placed on the market for sale.
Boatshed 140 is being sold as part of an estate and has been in the same ownership for 30 years.
Marketing agent Ethan Hourigan of Bayleys Real Estate said the boat sheds rarely came up for sale on the open market and most were sold privately.
It would be sold by auction on Thursday December 5 where its value would be determined. He said his colleagues remember one being sold for about $195,000 about four or five years ago.
