Description

These plans for a butter factory were designed by L. G. West for the Eltham Co-operative Dairy Factory Company Limited. The company was established in 1892, the first dairy manufacturer in Taranaki to be financed on a purely co-operative basis. It was amalgamated with the Cardiff Co-operative Dairy Factory Company Limited in about 1965. The Danish-born architect Ludolph Georg West (1846-1919) established an architectural practice in Palmerston North in about 1880. In 1912 he formed a partnership with his son, Ernest Vilhem West, who continued the business after his father's death.
