Alberton
Situated on the lower slopes of Mt Albert and once the centrepiece of a 500-acre country estate, Alberton began life as a two-storey farmhouse built in 1863. It belonged to Allan Kerr Taylor, one of several brothers of Scots descent who purchased estates in early Auckland. The Taylors inherited fortunes from their father, a colonel in the British Army stationed in India.
