I remember going past our place in Campbell Road and seeing half a dozen brick and tiles in its place. That was a shock, not because of the house, but the garden... It was such an incredible space. Just recently though I google earthed a house we had in Remuera, where I had my first 'grown up' bedroom. It was for sale, and some of the internal pics showed wallpaper my father had put up. It had a ballroom of all things, ugliest house I ever lived in. Best offers over a figure with far too many zeroes. Totally outrageous, but hey, Auckland was smaller back then...
