Samuel Hurst Seager CBE (26 June 1855 – 5 October 1933) was a notable New Zealand builder, draftsman, architect and town planner. He was born in London, England, in 1855, and as a boy emigrated to Christchurch, New Zealand, with his parents in 1870.[1]
He was one of the pioneers of the New Zealand bungalow.[1][2] He purchased land on Clifton Hill in Sumner and designed and established a garden suburb with eight bungalows which were sold in 1914.[3] Seager resided at No.1 The Spur for eight years from 1902.
Two of his notable buildings are Daresbury at 67 Fendalton Road and the Christchurch Municipal Chambers.[4]
In the 1926 King's Birthday Honours, he was appointed a Commander of the Order of the British Empire.[5]
