1930 The lowering of property values saved the area's architectural heritage from destruction. Major development (such as that which occurred on parts of Symonds Street) did not occur in the area in the period from 1930-1975. Between 1975 and 1985 there were few new buildings constructed.Karangahape Road is unique in Auckland, in that it has a very dense concentration of differing façade types from differing periods, which form unbroken boundaries of approximately uniform height right along the street edge. 1931 Fire guts Partington’s Windmill 1931 The Lyric Cinema in Symonds St is purchased by Kerridge as his first cinema in Auckland. Its name is changed to the State a name it will have until it closes on March 30 1960. 1931 Following the Napier Earthquake many buildings are stripped of “unsafe” decorative mouldings and details. This is probably when the cupola on Rendells and the cornice on the HB building [ Cnr K’rd & France St] is removed. 1936 |
