Description

The Grand Hotel was designed by J G Maddison in the Second Empire style, and constucted in 1906 by Trevor and Sons. It replaced the Provincial Hotel which burned down in the same year. As an hotel it hosted many important vistors, including two Royal visits (1927 and 1954). In 1985 the hotel was converted into commercial offices and retail space. While the interior of the building retains little of its former self the exterior is largely as built, although the turret was removed as an earthquake risk.

This photo was taken by Maicah, Flynn and Karlos of the Manawatū Home Educator's network as part of a session with the Heritage team at Palmerston North City Library.
