This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Government House, Auckland''' is the secondary [[official residence]] of the [[governor-general of New Zealand]] located in [[Auckland]], New Zealand. The property is situated in the Auckland suburb of [[Mount Eden]] on Mountain Road.

The building was erected in the 1920s as a private residence for [[Frank Mappin]]. Its construction required the demolition of another structure from the late-19th century. The Mappin family continued to own the residence until 1962, when they gave it to the Crown. The property has served as the official residence of the governor-general since 1969, following the departure of the Mappin family from property. 

[[Government House]], Auckland is the not the first property to serve as viceregal official residence in Auckland. The first Government House built in Auckland was completed in 1841, and was used as the residence for the governor of New Zealand until it burned down in 1848. Several other residences in Auckland were used to house the governor before [[Old Government House, Auckland|Old Government House]] was completed in 1856. The present Government House replaced Old Government House as the governor-general's residence in Auckland in 1969.

==History==
===Earlier Government Houses===
((further|Old Government House, Auckland))
The first Government House of Auckland was a prefabricated structure brought out by [[William Hobson]] in 1841. It was erected in Waterloo Quadrant((fact|date=July 2015)) and burned down in 1848 during [[George Grey]]'s first period as governor. The decision to rebuild was delayed, probably due to the possibility of the [[Capital of New Zealand|capital]] being moved to Wellington (which is what transpired in 1864). During the interim period other houses acted as Government House; the [[Nathan Residence]] on [[Karangahape Road]], Colonel Wynyard's house in Official Bay and Hulme Court in [[Parnell, New Zealand|Parnell]]. 

The replacement Government House by William Mason was not completed until 1856. It served as the Governor's Auckland residence until 1969, when it was superseded by Birchlands in Mount Eden. Now known as [[Old Government House, Auckland|Old Government House]], the 1856 Italianate Mansion is now part of the [[University of Auckland]] City Campus and has been converted into lecture theatres and a common room for faculty. ((As of|2014)) the building was in a poor state of repair.

===Present Government House===
====Private residence====
The site was probably first built upon in the 1880s or 1890s, although some of the trees may be slightly older, dating from the 1870s. [[Frank Mappin|Sir Frank Mappin, 6th Baronet]] and his wife Lady Mappin bought the Mount Eden property in 1921. They replaced the existing 19th century house completely, and spent the next 45 years developing and landscaping the grounds. They called the house Birchlands after a previous residence in Britain. 

The Mappins decided to present the residence to the Crown to act as the new Government House. The recent Royal Tour in 1953 had highlighted many deficiencies in the [[Waterloo Quadrant building]]; the mid-Victorian structure was showing its age, and it felt increasingly hemmed in by the growing city and University and thus a possible security risk. 

====Acquisition by the Crown====
[[File:Former NZ governors-general lunch 2016.jpg|thumb|Former governors-general of New Zealand at Government House, July 2016]]
The Mount Eden property was given to the Crown in 1962, although the Mappins did not depart until 1969. The deed of gift, signed by Sir Frank, and Prime Minister Keith Holyoake on 23 May that year declares that "the donor [was] moved by his duty and loyalty to [[Elizabeth II|Her Majesty]] and by a desire to benefit her present and future subjects in New Zealand by the provision of a site of dignity and beauty for the residence in Auckland for Her Majesty's Representative in New Zealand". The deed states the property is given "upon trust for Her Majesty her heirs and successors according to law as a site for Government House in Auckland for ever ..".<ref name="rudman">((cite news |url=http://www.nzherald.co.nz/opinion/news/article.cfm?c_id=466&objectid=10372322 |title=If we ditch the monarchy, who gets the house? | first=Brian | last=Rudman |authorlink=Brian Rudman |work=[[The New Zealand Herald]] |date=13 March 2006 |accessdate=26 September 2010))</ref> Republican [[Brian Rudman]] suggested that the House would have to be returned to the descendants of Sir Frank should [[Republicanism in New Zealand|New Zealand become a republic]].<ref name="rudman" />
