Cuba Street, Wellington.
I suspect this building will eventually have to be demolished, as post-Christchurch earthquakes, all public buildings are being checked for strengthening. It is unlikely this one will be reinforced.
I hope someone is cataloguing as many of these old endangered buildings as possible before they are demolished. Though that might be a sad, daunting task.
Oh, what a shame! That is an impressive old building, it reminds me of a lot of the architecture in Chicago. Good thing you got a photo of it now, while you still can!
The shame is that this is a beautiful building - built in a time where earthquake protection was not designed in by the architects. The shame will be in its destruction as it looks lovely now...
Such a shame - the building looks really interesting and worth preserving... As Toby says - it's great that you had a chance to take its photo, now the building will continue to exist in the virtual world even if it will be eventually demolished!
