A
heritage listed ‘dairy manager’s cottage’ on the corner of Smales and Chapel roads is for sale by tender. Known as Smales cottage, the house is one of the few historic buildings left in the Flat Bush-East Tamaki area. It has protected heritage status over the exterior but not the interior, consequently the tender documents says the property must be restored. It currently has no electricity, water or sewage connections. Howick historian Alan La Roche has a long association with the unoccupied cottage and says the old early settler appearance will be retained. He has been keeping it tidy and, until recently, hung clothes on the line to deter vandalism on behalf of the property owner, the Archibald Somerville Trust. “I wanted to make sure this historic cottage was retained as part of our East Tamaki heritage,” he says. “There are few historic buildings left in Flat Bush-East Tamaki. I arranged for the building to be repainted and I did some repairs.” Initially, Mr La Roche says, the cottage was part of the Reverend Gideon Smales farm from 1852 to 1894. He lived at “Hampton Park”

which includes the historic St John’s Church in East Tamaki Road. The area is now an historical reserve administered by Auckland Council. The Smales-Chapel Road cottage was built in about 1894 by Ambury and English and Company as accommodation for the company’s dairy factory manager, Mr La Roche says. The dairy factory, or creamery, used to be next door where milk was brought from nearby farms, generally in large cans in a dray or cart

in 1976. The Archibald Somerville Trust is under the control of Jim Chamley and his daughter Anne, who also administer the trust’s interest in Mr Somerville’s farm on Somerville Road, now operated as the Mangemangeroa Valley Reserve. Mr La Roche says Mr Chamley thought that Mr Somerville would have liked a community group to use Smales cottage and the land. While interest was expressed from community groups in 2006 and again in 2014,

The skim milk was returned to the farm to be fed to pigs or calves. In 1921 the East Tamaki Cheese Factory opened with the competition causing the Ambury and English factory to be closed. The cottage was leased as a farm house and bought by the late Archie Somerville

nothing eventuated. “Only recently I stopped putting up clothing on the line when Mr Chamley said he was going to sell it,” Mr La Roche says. “There are very few community buildings in East Tamaki-Flat Bush,” he says. “The cottage used to have a large block of land, but with the widened Smales and Chapel Roads there is less land. “It is, of course, on a very visible corner which gives the area a hint of its past. We will all be very interested in the sale and its future use.”
