Petone Court House

The old Court building in Petone. Apparently there are quite a few of these scattered around New Zealand which have been closed due to earthquake risk. Its a bit sad to see this one like this since its such a nice building… Hopefully someone gets a chance to reinforce and restore it…

The Adelaide

Newtown landmark pub “The Adelaide” was condemned earlier this year as being structurally unsound in the case of an earthquake and is just sitting there waiting to be demolished or structurally reinforced. After all the earthquakes in Christchurch there have been quite a number of buildings condemned around Wellington this year.

The second shot was taken through a dirty window, it looks like they left in a bit of a hurry…

Former Home For Boys

Spotted this one wandering around… The entire rest of the block has been demolished so I guess this one is protected…
