DUNEDIN’S ARCADE
Erection of New Buildings THIRTY-ONE SHOPS Dominion Special Service. Dunedin, July 7. The Arcade buildings, between High Street and Rattray Street, are to be demolished and a new business / area constructed. The present roof of the Arcade is to be removed and the buildings on each side will be reduced to one story except at the four corners. The plans provide for thirty-one shops, all finished in the modern manner. A very pleasing effect will be obtained by the use of Spanish details with mission tiled roofs. A fairway between the buildings is to be laid out as a garden court. A satisfactory feature of the project is that it will stimulate local trade and absorb a number of unemployed. The Fletcher Construction Company has secured the contract and will work on plans prepared by Mr. H. McDowell Smith.
