Description

Collinson & Cunninghame's department store stood at the corner of Broadway Avenue and The Square. It was established in 1904 by Leo Collinson and John Cunninghame, and became one of the leading department stores in Palmerston North. It stayed within the Collinson and Cunninghame families until sold in 1983 to the Farmers Trading Company. After Farmers relocated to the Plaza, this building is now used by Westpac Bank (2020)
