'The White House' is said to be one of the oldest houses in Russell and hence in New Zealand.
There is some doubt about the genesis of The White House/Te Wharema. One story holds that the house was built on Kawau Island in Auckland and shipped to Russell.
Records held by the Russell Museum suggest that the house was built for William Baker, who came ashore in the 1840's. It is called Te Wharema (literally, The White House) perhaps because it was established by Anglo missionaries or because the site was chosen because of the purity of the water, that still fills the well on the property today.
