About this Item

Numerous b&w and colour photographs & illustrations throughout. Includes endnotes, bibliography, list of buildings, index, plus glossary. From rear cover (in full): "Oamaru is New Zealand's best preserved Victorian town. Many of the buildings which give Oamaru's superb streetscapes their distinctive character were designed by the local firm Forrester and Lemon. Between 1872 and 1890 the firm was responsible for a large number of Oamaru's surviving commercial and public buildings and houses - some of them buildings of great individual merit, all of them buildings which contribute to Oamaru's extraordinary architectural legacy. Forrester and Lemon of Oamaru, Architects both tells the story of this prolific and accomplished partnership and illuminates many aspects of the development of New Zealand architecture on the nineteenth century".
