ARCHITECTURE - HISTORIC BUILDINGS

Conclusion

The emphasis in this essay has been given to the district where the earliest European settlements took place not only because the earliest buildings of historic interest were erected there, but also for their association with events of great importance to the nation's foundation. The interest of local people in the preservation of these buildings is not unexpected, but it is abundantly clear at the present time that New Zealanders everywhere, whether living in the largest cities or the smallest towns, are not unappreciative of the educational value of preserving early buildings of historic interest.
