McKenzie & Willis on High Street

2006

McKenzie & Willis on the corner of Tuam and High Streets, looking towards St Asaph Street.
Contributor's note: "The 1906 Billens Building, originally known as England Brothers House, is the most prominent building in this photo. It was badly damaged in the 2011 earthquakes and destroyed by arson in December 2012. The Mckenzie & Willis building, 179 High St (formerly A J White's) can be glimpsed on the right and the Duncan building can be seen further down the street."
