About this object
The photograph shows the Napier Central Business District looking towards Marine Parade from Tiffen Park.
Tennyson Street can be seen running across the photograph in the foreground and behind it is Emerson Street. Hildebrandt's building (J A Louis Hay, architect) can be seen on the corner of Tennyson and Dalton Streets followed by the Hawke's Bay Building & Investment Society's new building on Tennyson Street. Next to the empty section is McCulloch, Butler & Spence's premises (D B Frame and E A Williams, architects) followed by the Halsbury Chambers (J A Louis Hay, architect).
A wall from St Paul's Presbyterian Church (J A Louis Hay, architect), which was destroyed in the earthquake, is visible on the lower right hand side of the photograph. Beside it is the temporary Presbyterian Church.
There is evidence of rebuilding occurring after the 1931 Hawke's Bay earthquake.
Photographer, A B Hurst.
