This photograph of The Square Taken was in the vicinity of the Evening Standard building. In the foreground is the Lakelet (or Butterfly Lake), followed by the Phoenix Palms that once lived in The Square. The tall building to the right is the The Commercial Union Building, situated on the corner of Rangitikei and King Streets. It was completed in March 1973.
