This wharenui (meeting house) at Ohinemutu Marae is located in Rotorua that is named after chief Tama Te Kapua who came from Polynesia in about 1350. Te Papaiouri meeting house was first opened around 1873 but was demolished in 1939. It was rebuilt and opened in 1943.
Happy Matariki (Maori New Year) everyone!

Interesting building. I am glad you are feeling better.
Nice to have a cultural center. Our local First Nation is building one on part of their traditional land that is now a park. - Margy
The building has beautiful carvings.
Worth a Thousand Words
Happy Matariki to you as well. May your year go well. The meeting house is very ornate, such a shame that it was demolished earlier, but great that it was rebuilt. We don't see a lot of Maori architecture down here.
