A 1914 DESIGN FOR A CHRISTCHURCH TOWN HALL.—An illustration from the “Canterbury Times” of May 13, 1914. It shows the design for a Town Hall drawn in accordance with a scheme advocated by Dr. C. J. Russell. The site is on the Cambridge terrace side of the river Avon between the Victoria street and Colombo street bridges. The original caption stated, in part, that one of the chief obstacles in the way of realisation of a Town Hall was the question of site, “upon which public opinion is very much divided, and until that important matter is settled no decided steps can be taken in regard to the erection of the buildings.”
