Wool Exchange Of The Future
The decision of the Wool Auction Sales Committee to introduce sales at 28-day intervals in the main wool selling centres in the 1963-64 reason has created a problem in that in some centres where important public buildings, like town halls, are hired for sales these buildings may not always be available for the more frequent sales planned for the future. The New Zealand Wool Brokers’ Association has been looking into this problem and has
had sketch plans of a prototype wool exchange prepared by the Christchurch architects, Warren and Mahoney. Above is an artist’s impression of the wool exchange of the future. The entrance at street level gives access to offices. An : interior stairway from this sec-
tion of the building leads to the sale room on the first floor and an outside stairway leads to the seating section for the public at the back of the sale room. The windowed section on the first floor underneath-the public seating Is a refreshment room.
