This plan for modifications to a butter factory was designed by L. G. West for the Awahuri Dairy Factory Company Limited. The company was established in 1897 and continued until 1960, when it amalgamated with the Rongotea Co-operative Dairy Company Limited to form the Manawatū Co-operative Dairy Company Limited. 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.
