This plan for additions to the Occidental Hotel was designed by L. G. West for H. Wollerman. The first Occidental Hotel was built on the corner of Fitzherbert Street (now Avenue) and The Square in c.1887. It burnt down in September of 1891 and was replaced by a similar building which was also destroyed by a fire in 1927. 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 is son, Ernest Vilhem West, who continued the business after his father's death.
