TRIBUTES TO MR R. S. D. HARMAN
The Canterbury Museum Trust Board yesterday paid tributes io the work of Mr R. S. I). Harman. “Christchurch has lost one of its notable citizens,” said the chairman (Mr J. L. Hay). “I was always impressed with Mr Harman’s close identity with anything in our civic life that was worth while.” As an architect, Mr Harman had been “one of the last of our Gothic men,” said Mr Heathcote Helmore. Another such had ben Mr P. W. Rule. With the death of both, it was difficult to think who would carry on their fine traditions. Although not directly associated with the museum, Mr Harman had taken a close interest in the extension plans, and was one of the chief advocates that the extended frontage should match the present stonework, Mr Helmore said.
