TEAROOM BLAZE.
LAKDMARK DISAPPEARS.
(By Telegraph.—Press Association.)
WELLINGTON, thie day.
A wooden building known as the Blue Platter tearoom and boardinghouse at Island Bay was totally destroyed by fire in the early hours this morning. Built 26 years ago, it contained 20 rooms, and had been a landmark ever since. A contract had been let for its renovation, and, in preparation for the work, all furniture had been removed.
The building, which was the property of the G. H. Baylis estate, was insured for £1000 in the Guardian office.
