The Bank Of New Zealand

The Bank Of New Zealand in Christchurch occupies a valuable section at the junction of Hereford, Colombo, and High Streets and Cathedral Square. The bank, which was founded in Auckland in 1861, was established shortly afterwards in Christchurch, Business was commenced in a twostorey wooden building in Cashel Street, not far from the site of the “Press” office. The substantial building now used was erected about the end of the sixties; it is of stone, a single storey, on an elevated foundation, and entirely utilised for the purposes of the local branch. A capacious banking chamber, well lighted on all sides, is handsomely finished, and has an entrance from Hereford Street.
