About

An early book that helped to increase the awareness of Wellingtonians to the heritage buildings within their city.

Published at a time when much of NZ society was focussed on looking forwards with little regard to the past, many people found it difficult to consider that anything 'old' could be regarded as having any great value. A sad reflection of this is that a number of the historic buildings shown in this book (including several dating from the early 1840s to the late 1860s) were demolished within a decade of its publication but thankfully many were restored and survive to this day.
