Any images of the houses, Peter?

Here's a recent article on the Castle Drive house - better look quickly as the NZ Herald now locks the articles up after a week or so (which is why NZ coverage has had to virtually disappear from this website).

The other house in Glendowie, which has been sold too:

Letter regarding the houses from Wellington's Architecture Centre:

News just in from a spy in Auckland:Great news on the Ivan Juriss house. The real estate agent called me to say that so many architects cane to the house and educated him on its importance that he then passed this on to his clients and now it has been sold to the sister of an architect who wants to keep it in original condition and has already engage[d] architecture services from a group of architects who specialise in heritage buildings.

Unfortunately the house in Castle Drive has been demolished

Oh bugger - any reasons why? I hope not to replace it with another obese McGeorgian.
