CHANGING SCENE IN THE HEART OF CHRISTCHURCH.—A new aerial photograph of Cathedral square, which is dominated by the reconditioned tower of the Cathedral. In the north-west corner of the Square (right foreground) is the open space left by the recent demolition of the Embassy Theatre, a building occupied by the Government Life Insurance Office since the 1880’s, and a smaller building. A nine-storey office block is to be erected on the site for the Government Life Insurance Office. To the left of the picture, at the back of the Cathedral, is the Government Department Buildings, which are being restored.
