People observe the remians of the Clarendon Hotel, burned down by fire 28 January 1904. The Clarendon Hotel was built in 1873 on the corner of Rangitikei Street and The Square. The original two-storey wooden building was replaced by a three-storey brick building on the same site. After the 1931 Napier earthquake the top storey was removed. Later the building was demolished to make way for the M L C building. Looking down Coleman Mall to the left, can be seen the stables on George Street.
