About this object
View of the Central Hotel, Napier. The photograph has been taken from an elevated position overlooking the intersection of Emerson Street and Dalton Street. The Proprietor of the hotel at the time that the photograph was taken was W E Hill. Part of the ground floor of the building is occupied by shops, including Murdochs, Havelock Fruit Company, R E Brooke, and an unidentified hairdressing parlour.
