Upper Hutt Town Board office; corner of Main and Russell streets

Details

PhotographerUnknown (possibly Angus McCurdy?)DescriptionPhotograph of Upper Hutt Town Board office, copied by Revelle Jackson. Image in packet labelled "McCurdy's 1910 Photos".

The May 27, 1966 'Leader' incorrectly stated the office was on the Bank of New South Wales site and built around 1908; another description says it stood on the other side of Russell Street, under the oak tree on the site later occupied by the Red Robin Tea Rooms (Benge's Building).

Although we do not have an exact date for when this building was erected, we do know that the Town Board was established in April 1908. In April 1911 Mr John Barton suggested the present Town Board office be photographed in anticipation of the new building being completed(Hutt Valley Independent 26 April 1911). The new Town Board building was opened in 1912.
