Old Stone House Open Day

Visit the Old Stone House and soak up the ambience and history of this heritage building, originally built for Sir John Cracroft Wilson’s Indian workers.

Old Stone House nestled at the foot of the Cashmere Hill, is a unique Christchurch landmark. Built in 1870, Old Stone House is fully restored and reopened in 2018 after earthquake strengthening and major repairs. 

There will be a display of information on the history of the Old Stone House from its beginnings as the living quarters for John Cracroft Wilson's Indian workers, to its current use as a community centre and event venue.

Some of the activities you can enjoy are:

  • Bagpiper
  • Facepainting
  • Refreshments

The Old Stone House is a Christchurch City Council-owned building but is managed by a committee from the Cracroft Community Centre and serves as a community centre, wedding and events venue.
