167-175 and 179 High Street
The McKenzie & Willis building on the corner of Tuam and High Streets was designed by England Brothers for the furniture retailer A. J. White. Mackenzie & Willis acquired the business in 1980. Following the Canterbury earthquakes the building was badly damaged but it is hoped that the facade can be saved and restored. Further damage to both this building and the adjacent brick Billens building (1906) on the left was caused by arson in December 2012 and the Billens Building was totally destroyed.
