In June 1884, the School was moved to Deard's Hall in Main Street and Mr A Matheson was headmaster. He was followed by D.H. Guthrie, C.H. von Blaremberg and T F Fairbrother (by 1893). In 1885 it moved to its present location on the thoroughfare then known as Terrace Street, but which was subsequently renamed after being incorporated into Ruahine Street in c.1926. Several new buildings were constructed between 1927 and 1960. The print has the following information: Identified are - Mr Fairbrother (left), Mrs Finn (right) and Eda Koehler (far right, back row)

This building was one of the first European houses in inland Manawatu, erected 1867 by European carpenters employed by Ditlev Gothard Monrad, the Lutheran Bishop and ex-Premier of Denmark who settled at Karere in 1866. To the right of the house can be seen a clay and thatch whare, which may be the hut occupied by the Monrad family prior to construction of the house. The house was occupied by the Bishop and his wife 1867 - 1868 and then by one of the Bishop's sons, Viggo, 1868 - 1885. A verandah and extra ground-floor rooms were added to the house about 1880. The last owners and occupants were two of Viggo Monrad's sons, Ditlev and Oscar, who lived in the house from about 1886 until its destruction by fire in 1889. The house was situated near the bank of the Karere Lagoon on section 35 of the Karere Block, about three miles west of the present settlement of Longburn, near Palmerston North. Though the photographer is unknown, he was possibly a young Dane named Bloch who came to New Zealand with the Monrads, and was known to take photographs when he visited Karere 1867.

The Palmerston North City Council administration building was designed by Reginald Thorrold Jaggard and built in 1944-1945. The Council had occupied the same site in the former Colonial Bank of New Zealand building until it was demolished to make way for the new offices.

It then became an arts and crafts centre and became known as Square Edge.
