The Square between Fitzherbert Avenue and Church Street West
- Description
The Bank of New Zealand stood on the corner of Fitzherbert Avenue, while the two-story brick Colonial Bank (not visible) stood on the site of the old City Council Chambers (now Square Edge). The wooden buildings between these two banks were erected after the fire of April 1891, which destroyed four buildings previously standing on this site. This photograph was taken about the same time as sq 127 because the same buildings and signs appear in both photographs.
