Historic building funds
Three of five applications for assistance from the Christchurch City Council’s historic buildings fund should be accepted, the town planning committee said yesterday. The biggest amount recommended was $2OOO for St George’s Hospital in Papanui Road, to help with $37,126 of exterior painting. Three of the private hospital’s facades are listed for their importance in the
council’s District Scheme.
Another $l5OO should go to the Sisters of Mercy Convent and St Mary’s Primary School in Colombo Street for a $Bl3O maintenance project to paint wood and metal parts of the convent building. “Amwell,” a private home in Papanui Road, should be allowed $750 to help with a $1234 roof repair job, the committee said. Consideration of a $6OOO
street facade restoration project for the First Assembly of God building in Tuam Street, formerly the Odeon Theatre, should be deferred until the council had evidence of a commitment to earthquake strengthening of the building, the committee recommended. Assistance for a Montreal Street cottage could not be considered because the building was not listed.
