QUEEN STREET, AUCKLAND, N.Z. Organized settlement of
Auckland began in 1842. At that time a great deal of
progress was made by the first settlers and elegant
cottages" with well-planned gardens showed promise for a
happy future. Queen Street then was a metal road flanked
by ten buildings, one of which was the courthouse with
stocks in front of it. Disastrous fires in 1872 and 1873
razed part of this important growing business area which
had to be rebuilt. The first three-storied building to be
times many old buildings have been demolished, being
replaced by multistoried well-planned airy buildings. This
picture shows the mingling of old and new architecture in
the Queen Street of to-day.
