As has now been widely reported [NZ Herald] a house which had been relocated to a Marae in Manurewa (my old 'hood) collapsed on workmen, killing two.

Interestingly, just the other week an old classmate of mine from highschool had come down to Wellington and we were reminiscing; she was telling me how her childhood home had been sold to the council in order that the land could be used for other means, and the house was being relocated to a marae to be used as a health centre.

Yes, same place!!

Scary to think I'd actually set foot inside the house that collapsed...

Stuff has additional photos etc.
