-
This plan depicts a premises with three cooling chambers designed by L. G. West for the Palmerston North Fresh Food and Cooling Stores Co. Ltd. The cooling and storage business was established in 1906. An advertisement in the Manawatū Times announced that "Palmerston North Fresh Food and Cooling Stores Ltd. Princess Streeet, are now open to receive for storage Perishable Goods of every description at moderate charges" (19 November 1906). They appear to have ceased trading in late 1920, when the managing director sought the dissolution of the company. 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.
