Dowse Hutt Pataka...Knowledge is Strength
Visited Dowse Art Museum, took note of the Pataka [food storehouse] and decided to research further.
1856 Pataka is built for Wi Tako Ngatata of Te Mako Pa just south of todays Naenae Railway station.
1861 Wi Tako leased land to William Beetham artist 1809-88 and agreed Beetham to cared for the Pataka.
1880 George Beetham inherited Lodge Court Te Mako Hutt and the pataka.
1884 George Beetham married Frances Annie Kate LEVIN related to Vogel and Riddiford.
1887 Wi Tako died in Petone.
1888 George and Frances Beetham moved to Wellington and took the Pataka with them. Great visitors site.
1912 George and Frances Beetham moved to England. The Pataka was moved to Beethams homestead Brancepeth Wairarapa.
1982 Hugh Beetham of Brancepeth donated the Pataka back to the People of Lower Hutt.
THAT is the short story.
