NZ visual diary - entry 84

remembrance of things past - Victoria Street West

Passing an abandoned building always leaves me depressed.

Pausing to study an abandoned building whose architectural beauty is breathtaking renders me irreconcilable.

And so it was, as I exited Elliott Street at Victoria Street West, I came upon a lovely neo-classical building, adorned with gorgeous architectural features, that appeared to be quite forgotten.

From oriel window to roof-line dentils to elegant lentils this building is unabashedly effusive, a feast for the eye.

And yet, it appears neglected, quite forsaken. As I learn more about the building's provenance and future, I will provide an update.

For now, enjoy the proud remnants of past glory.
