Fig. 71—Te Aro Swamp, about five years after the 1855 earthquake. The drain from the Basin Reserve is seen in the foreground. The site is now occupied by the flower plots and Queen Victoria Statue, between Cambridge and Kent Terraces. Mr. John Waters' house is one of the group on the right, and the prominent building facing the swamp (middle of the picture) is the Albion Hotel
