The Occidental Hotel stood on the corner of Fitzherbert Avenue and The Square. After the first one burnt down in a fire 12 September 1891 it was rebuilt on the same site. Behind the people observing the water can be seen one of The Square quadrants, which was beautified between 1904-1909 to include flower gardens and the Te Peeti Te Awe Awe statue.
