Hokitika BNZ, 1866 and 1875.

About this image

DescriptionHokitika BNZ erected premises on the corner of Revell and Camp Streets. They were much admired. The local paper recorded “Although there may be others which contain a greater amount of space, there is not one so imposing in appearance or occupying so eligible a site. The strong-room, well worthy of its name, is built of solid brick and guarded by double doors of massive iron”.

Unfortunately this show place with elaborate interior decorations was destroyed by fire in 1873. New premises were erected in 1875. The present structure dates from 1931.
