TOP LEFT: A view of the front elevation of the main College building immediately after the 1929 earthquake with debris from the ruined tower in the foreground. The centre is of the well-remembered Western Wing in preearthquake days. On the TOP RIGHT the old College building (1857-58) in Manuka street is shown. The picture on the left of the second row recalls the destruction by fire of the wooden building in 1903. CENTRE: An early view of this building. RIGHT: a panoramic view of Waimea street and Waimea road in former times, with the College building in the distance. BELOW is a picture of the brick buildings of Nelson College on “Sports Day.” showing the Assembly Hall to the left of the main building, the gymnasium, and on the left the Scriptorium. At the foot of the page the Governor-General, Lord Galway, is making an inspection of a platoon of the Nelson College Cadets. On the left background is portion of Rutherford House, named after the late Lord Rutherford of Nelson, an Old Boy of the College. Both Rutherford House and Barnicoat House, picturesquely placed in the College grounds, are of the latest earthquake resisting construction, as will be the new main administrative and school building.—The earlier pictures are by Tyrees, the burning building by F. N. Jones, and the later pictures by A. R. Kingsford.
