About this object
The photograph shows that the devastation caused to the Napier central business district by the 3 February 1931 Hawke's Bay earthquake has been cleaned up and the construction of new buildings begun.
The Market Reserve building has been built on the corner of Hastings and Tennyson Streets. The empty section where the Masonic Hotel once stood contains a great deal of debris. Building is taking place in the forefront of the photograph.
