A self-made man who used his considerable fortune to make many gifts to his adopted city, Nelson. Thomas Cawthron has left many enduring legacies, including the Church steps and the Cawthron Institute.
In 1900 he lent 700 pounds to the Nelson Institute Library and Museum and, when it burned down, he gifted 500 pounds towards its rebuilding. He also bought and gifted the Lukin Collection of Māori artefacts to the Institute 6 and supported efforts to establish the Nelson School of Music, gifting and lending money and donating a pipe organ.
