Dilworth Building
Mixed-use in Corner of Customs Street and Queen Street
The Dilworth Building is a heritage mixed-use (residential apartments and shops on the ground floor) building at the corner of Customs Street and Queen Street in the Auckland CBD, New Zealand. The building by William Gummer & Reginald Ford[1] was constructed between 1925 and 1927, and is listed as a "Historic Place - Category I" by Heritage New Zealand.[2]
At the lower entry to Queen Street, the building was once envisaged as one half of a 'gateway' to the city, and hailed as a visionary concept. However, the mirroring building on the opposite side of Queen Street was never constructed.[1]
