Summary
Description New Regent St Christchurch. (10588849634).jpg |
New Regent St occupies a site once dominated by the "Colosseum", a massive hall built in 1888 that at various times contained a boot factory, a skating rink and a silent movie theatre. In 1929, the hall was demolished to make way for a complex of 40-odd shops, designed by local architect HF Willis in the Spanish Mission style and built in the teeth of the Depression, one of the only sizeable construction projects undertaken in the South Island during that period. |
