The view is about eastwards with Blue Spur in the distance. Is that the Weld St clock about half way up on the left? This photo probably predates the Government Building in Sewell St.

Don Hutton Looking again at the map the orientation of the photo could be a little southeast. Hamilton St runs NW > SE so maybe "Hokitika looking south" is not too far out Zody Neil William?

The building at the end of the road where the current govt building is, was a Mosque. When I worked at Rentons there was a clear pic of the temple

Diane Craig

Diane Craig the govt buildings were built in 1909, a couple of years after Rentons built their current building

Looking East. Maybe it’s north east. The A frame building at the end of the street was the court house on Sewell
st. It was replaced by the Government buildings

Robert Symonds
Looking down from my angle

Yep looking East. The old government house and gardens near the corner of Weld and Sewell Streets shows up well. Taken from the roof of the Carnegie building going by the angles?
