Landing Service Building

Description

Alternative NameLanding Service DescriptionDating from 1870-71 the Landing Service Building is a grade one heritage building constructed from bluestone. It was saved from demolition in the 1980s. The original purpose of the building was to load and unload goods from boats moored in Timaru harbour when the depth of water and lack of a harbour and facilities meant ships anchored off-shore.
It currently houses Timaru’s visitor information centre, Te Ana Māori Rock Art Centre, and restaurants including conference facilities.External LinkHeritage New Zealand: Landing Service BuildingGeolocation^[1]Geo Address2, George Street, Timaru, 7910SubjectBuildingsEarly Settlers
