This photograph may be on Cuba Street, Wellington, rather than Courtenay Place. Although Te Aro Seed Company was based on Courtenay Place for most of its time in business, it was located at 174 Cuba Street between 1910 and 1913. The signwriting on the eaves in this image (and the eaves themselves) in this photo resemble the location on Cuba Street, rather than Courtenay Place. https://wellingtonchinesehistory.fandom.com/wiki/Te_Aro_Seed_Company
