Teviot Woolshed 1870

 At Teviot near Roxburgh in Central Otago these ruins come as a complete surprise because they, unlike just about any other architectural structures in New Zealand, are reminiscent of European castle remains. They look mediaeval but in fact are less than 150 years old. They are the end walls of an enormous woolshed built around 1870 that was destroyed by fire in 1924.

The Teviot run was the first rural spread applied for in Central Otago. It was taken up by John Cargill and Walter Miller. Under a later owner it had the first telephone in New Zealand which connected the farmhouse to Roxburgh post office.
