This image was taken from the then Public Library building on the corner of Main Street and The Square. It looks across The Square to the Civic Administration Building (centre) - an example of Brutalism architecture, and often referred to locally as the 'Battleship' - the Hopwood clock tower completed in 1957 and the NZI high rise building.
