| Description | Oamaru New Zealand The former Harbour Board office was built in 1876 was one of the first public buildings besigned by Forrester and Lemon. It is heavily ornamented, the building being designed in the Venetian Renaissance style. Purchased by the Trust 2001 and undergoing complete exterior restoration in 2005-06. The North Otago Branch of Historic Places Trust presented the Trust with the conservation plan for the building as a project to mark the 130th anniversary of the Forrester and Lemon architectural practice. The Trust uses the first floor boardroom and office for its meetings and project office and the Victorian Town at Work's Victorian Heritage Centre is in the ground floor. Interpretation panels in the Victorian Heritage Centre tell the story of the Oamaru Harbour and Thomas Forrester's influence on the development of Oamaru. |
