Jubilee Building

 


When we travel through cities I like to take photos of some of the old buildings - there's huge amounts of colonial history. This one in Parnell in Auckland is the home of the Royal New Zealand Foundation of the Blind and was designed by architect Edward Bartley then opened in 1909. 

Linking up with Through my lensTuesday TreasuresMy corner of the world and Wordless Wednesday.

A beautiful building. I like the arched windows.

That looks like a very serious institutional building, which it was. Not inviting

I love the architectural look of these old buildings - they have so much more "character" than modern buildings.

From an age when buildings signalled permanence and importance and commitment to cause.

That's an attractive building. I love the deep porches on the second story and then the stone arches on the first with the big windows.
