  • Northern Mount Victoria Historical Society Walking Guide Tour (Alan Middleton- Olliver)
    Northern Mount Victoria Historical Society Walking Guide Tour (Alan Middleton- Olliver) Captain C.W. Mein Smith's original map "Plan of the Town of Wellington, Port Nicholson, 14 August 1840" For the New Zealand Company established the basic street structure for Mount Victoria. Whereas southern Mount Victoria was an extension of the Te Aro flat grid street pattern, the steepness of the land in northern Mount Victoria, dictated some alteration to the grid pattern. The original streets of the suburb were Majoribanks, Pirie and Ellice in the east west direction, Brougham and Austin Streets and Kent Terrace in the north south direction, with Roxburgh, Mcfarlane, and Hawker streets and Clyde Quay in the northern area. The map also shows the proposed canal route along to the Basin and Hawker street going over the hill and joining onto Oriental Terrace, now Oriental Parade. Approximately 36 acres were surveyed and defined in the northern area. Initial building development was haphazard as some acres had been purchased by land speculators. Thomas Ward's 1891 Survey of Wellington map shows the number of streets and pedestrian lanes in Mount Victoria had increased from 10 to 27, and by 1933 there were 47. Studying the Street maps and examining the Wises Directories gives a good indication of the development of the streets. These streets were at varying widths, including pedestrian lanes, and resulted from the haphazard subdivision of the original acres and the peculiarities of local topography. Some streets began as small private pedestrian lanes, which were only taken over by the Council at a much later date.

This interest - which had entertained him since before his 1919 publication Modern Industrial Development - characterised the last eight years of his life, apparent in his office's factory designs for: Samuel Brown Ltd (1940,1943), the Disabled Soldiers' Vocational Centre/Rehabilitation League (1942-43), Die Castings Ltd, Lower Hutt (1943) and the WH Symmington & Co.'s factory, Palmerston North (1948). This paper examines this work in relation to his visit to America in 1940 and his proposal for a combined factory on Aotea Quay (1943).

  • Proposed District Plan Change 53 Heritage Listings
    26 February 2007 Re: DPC 53 Proposed Heritage Listings This submission is from the Wellington Architectural Centre, a group which represents both professional and non-professionals interested in architecture and design, and in the promotion of good design in Wellington. 1) Support for DPC 53 Proposed Heritage Listings The Wellington Architectural Centre conditionally supports the Proposed Heritage Listings, but we do not consider that the additions to the list are extensive enough. Because such changes to the District Plan do not occur frequently (we understand the last time significant changes to the Heritage Schedule were made was some ten years ago!) this is an incredibly important event. This situation points to a real need to design a less cumbersome and lengthy system for updating the Schedule. We strongly recommend that the council adopt a system (perhaps parallel to the District Plan) which enables more frequent inclusion of new items in the Heritage Schedule. This process must actively ask for submissions from the public, include the criteria on which listing is determined, and provide the rationale for proposed inclusions, deletions, and alterations to the list. While we acknowledge the need to liase with site/building owners, we stress but that the priorities of listing MUST come first. If a site/building/object has heritage value to the city, then the city has an obligation to list it as a heritage item to prevent its alteration or demolition. We also suggest that some sites with multiple addresses (e.g. Massey House (The Terrace and Lambton Quay) and Sheds 11 and 13 (Waterloo Quay; Customhouse Quay)) be listed under all relevant addresses.

  • Heritage Trail PDWCC49264
    heritage trail PDWCC49264 Wellington City Council “The winds and the woodenness … are only incidental to the grand fact of Wellington’s harbour… It is more tremendous by far than Sydney’s overvaunted harbour, if only because it is uncluttered by islets and fjords, but stands there like a noble bowl among its surrounding mountains. It looks symmetrical, purposeful, altogether functional… It might have been scooped out by a million bull-dozers.” — James Morris, Cities (1963) Introduction Wellington Harbour is a large expanse of water, more like a lake than a harbour, up to 28 metres deep and occupying nearly 50 square kilometres. These natural attributes have helped Wellington become one of this country’s most important ports. The harbour is also a wonderful recreational facility, with yachts fi lling the water on weekends, fi shermen lining its shores and hundreds walking its margins. Though it is no longer so central to Wellington’s life, the harbour has a unique location and appearance. It is ever changeable, like the city’s weather – calm one moment and then rough and agitated the next. The trail you are about to walk is almost exclusively on reclaimed land. Wellington’s waterfront changed dramatically as the demands for more land and wharfage grew. Wellington’s original shoreline, today some distance inland, is the subject of its own walk. Just how the present shoreline was formed, and the uses the land created behind it has been put to, are the main subjects of this trail. 1 wellington’s maritime heritage trail Lambton Harbour – the beginnings When the fi rst New Zealand Company settlers arrived in Wellington in early 1840 they settled on the fl at land at Petone, at the north end of Wellington Harbour.

Edited and updated, September 2015, by the HDC Environmental Policy Team SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANCE: Architectural Value: A well-known landmark in Hastings, the Central Building imposes its quiet and dignified character on a central part of the city, adjacent to the pedestrian mall in Heretaunga Street West and on a busy corner site. It is two storeys high, and of large floor plate, which adds to its prominence in the townscape. Many of its neighbours are of similar scale, and date from the post-earthquake building boom of the 1930s, which creates the strong period character of the central city. Architecturally, the building is a very good example of the Stripped Classical style, displaying simplified and abstracted Classical features in a well-ordered and rational manner.

Christine McCarthy, Victoria University of Wellington Narrating the City Beautiful: Edmund Anscombe and His 1928 World Trip On Wednesday 9 January 1929, widower and architect Edmund Anscombe returned to Dunedin after eleven months overseas, travelling with his two daughters through the middle east and the Mediterranean (Egypt, Palestine, Turkey, Greece and Italy), before visiting England, Continental Europe (Switzerland and France), and America. His journey was chronicled in a serial account published in Dunedin’s Evening Star. Titled “A World Trip”, it began in irregular instalments from 12 January until 16 March. The travel account drew on newspaper literary traditions more predominantly used for fiction rather than factual writings, a form strongly reliant on a narrative able to carry interest across publication in intermittent newspaper issues.
