ANOTHER SITE SUGGESTED FOR NEW ART GALLERY.
COULD BE ERECTED WHERE CURATOR’S HOUSE IS NOW SITUATED.
A new site for the Art Gallery that is to be erected in the city with the fund provided by Mr R. E. M’Dougall, was suggested this morning by Mr H. Kitson, a member of the Christchurch Domains Board.
Mr Kitson expressed the opinion that the site occupied by the curator’s house on the Rolleston Avenue frontage of the Botanic Gardens would be an ideal situation for the Art Gallery, and he believed that a majority of the members of the Domains Board would favour the idea. The cost of shifting the curator’s house to another site in the gardens would probably not amount to more than £SOO, as it was built of stone and could be pulled down and re-erected, and there was no special reason why it would remain on its present site. He was of opinion that the house should be re-erected in the part of the gardens near the Tea Kiosk, where Mr Young now had his workshops, thus cleaning up that part of the gardens.
