Ivey Hall a historic place?
The first building on the Lincoln College campus, Ivey Hall, may be preserved by the Historic Places Trust. At its meeting in September, the trust will classify Ivey Hall either as a building whose preservation is essential because of historical significance or architectural quality, or as a building which merits preservation. The Lincoln College Council has written to the trust supporting the total preservation classification of the building, in view of its architectural features and his-
torical association. Several buildings now make up Ivey Hall, but the first building was erected in 1878 for the director, Mr W. E. Ivey, his family and 20 students. The building was designed by architect Frederick Strout, and the trust sees it as his best work. Ivey Hall was one of the earliest and largest permanent material buildings in Canterbury and is architecturally important as an example of traditional English architecture adapted to colonial conditions and materials, the trust thinks.
