Architect: J J Collins
Built in 1884 The Canterbury Times and then The Star newspapers were published on this site until 1958 when they moved premises. Saved from demolition in 2000 when purchased and renovated by the Christchurch Heritage Trust thus ensuring its survival. It is one of the best examples of commercial Victorian design in a Venetian Renaissance style.
