Victorian building reinstated: ANZ bank, Dunedin.

This original building, designed by R. A. Lawson, architect for many of Otago's notable early buildings, was built in Princes Street, Dunedin, in 1874. It is one of the finest examples of early Victorian architecture which has done much to influence the character of present-day Dunedin. It had been occupied continuously by the Union Bank, later to become the .A.N.Z. Bank, for a century before being vacated to allow the recent reinstatement.
