Description

This building was constructed as the Colonial Bank in c1892. It was used as a Public Library 1900-1905 and then converted into the administration building of the Palmerston North Borough Council. It was increased in 1925 by the addition of the two storey structure at the rear, as seen in the photograph. In 1945 the original front portion was demolished and replaced by a new administration building, today known as Square Edge, attached to the 1925 addition at the back.
