Description

This photograph shows construction nearing completion on a six-storey building on the corner of Main Street West and Te Marae o Hine The Square. The building was designed by Cantlon & Co. Architects of Palmerston North and constructed by McMillan & Lockwood Ltd.

The Coronation Fountain, visible on the far right of the photograph, was relocated in 2005 to a site near the Ladies' Rest and intersection with Broadway Avenue.

The negative comes from a file compiled by M. D. (David) Evans when working for the PNCC Planning Department. Evans was employed as planning assistant from 1955 to 1968, Deputy City Planner from 1968 to 1978 and Senior Planning Officer (Design and Development) from 1978-1988.
