Description

The three-storied brick Clarendon Hotel was constructed in 1904, after fire had destroyed the earlier wooden hotel. In 1927 the license was transferred to the newly constructed Carlton hotel in Cuba Street and the building was converted into shops and offices, as seen in the photograph. The ground floor was occupied by Goldfinch and Cousins Ltd. The top-storey of the building was removed after the 1931 Napier earthquake.
