On the opposite side of Tennyson Street stands the New Zealand Insurance building (designed by J A Louis Hay, completed 1932) and the Robert Holt Building (designed by R Holt & Sons, completed 1933). Workmen are visible on the roofs of both buildings. On the corner of Tennyson Street and Hastings Street, the Bryant’s Building (designed by Finch & Westerholm, completed 1933) is also under construction. The remains of St John’s Cathedral are visible to the left. Herschell Street is located on the right of the image.
