Heritage Value s:

The large Oak at th e fro nt of the property at 30 Great South Road is estima ted to be over 100 years old by arbo rists. This site was form erly known and listed as number 16 Great Sout h Road. The land it sta nds on was originally part of Clendon's grant (a vast landh olding) and appears t o have been used as farm land for most of it s recent history. i The earliest recorded sett lers on th e land we re Eliza Evans a spinste r and Samuel Eva ns (th eir relation is uncert ain) who occupied the property prior to 1907."

The area surroun ding th e site has been inte nsively developed as it sits betwee n the Great Sout h Road, th e main trunk railway line and th e -Hamilton mot orway. The exception to thi s is th e land on th e opposite side of the Great Sout h Road w hich hosts a fringe of large trees and runs along th e sout hern bank of th e Papa kura Strea m. This form s th e edge of th e large Esplanade Reserve, how ever no direct links have been found between th e Oak at 30 Great South Road and t his Reserve. Multiple plans held by Land Information show changes in roading and railway lands but do not give detail about any plant life at th e site .'"

No significant local histori cal associations have been esta blished for any of th e own ers of t he prop ert y, how ever, the tree has some herit age significance on t he basis of it s ass ociat ion wit h a known early sett ler. v
