0001

The exhibition building was a twin–towered palazzo in stuccoed brick, with corner turrets and the bold quoining already exhibited in the Dunedin Public Warehouse. It had a central, covered courtyard and was a descendant of Charles Fowler’s design for the Covent Garden market building in London. It was situated on Great King Street and afterward became the city’s hospital, serving the purpose until its demolition in 1933.
