Halls Beach

Halls Beach was named after Peter Hall of Winks & Hall, well-known Auckland cabinet-makers, who bought several acres next to the beach in 1870. The property was bought in about 1900 by the Fraser family, who later built the Onewa Picture Drome. From about 1911 until the 1960s, boat builders such as Ernest Bailey built many boats, including launches and mullet boats, immediately to the south of Hall's Beach.

Return to Queen Street and continue south. The homes at 97 (called Korangi), 96 (Featherstone), and 94 (Garfield) were all built by George Carter in the early 20th century.
