About this object
The photograph has been taken after the devastating 3 February 1931 earthquake and subsequent fire. The image, taken from the Napier Fire Station roof, shows what remains of many of the buildings. Evidence of the fire can be seen on the exterior walls. The Emerson and Dalton building (E & D) is visible in the middle distance and Dalgety and Company Limited is on the right. The road has been cleared of debris to allow vehicle access.
