Theosophical Society Hall

Here is the site of a 'virtual attraction', in this case it is not there anymore because of the earthquakes.

The building that was here, the Theosophical Hall was a landmark in Christchurch's social and architectural history. Social, because it was funded by Thomas Edmonds, of Edmonds Flour Mills, a man and a company which had a profound impact on New Zealand Labour relations and who left his mark on the city in other ways.

The architectural element is explained by John Wilson, historian:
"Though it is not a church in the conventional sense, the Theosophical Society Hall is a further example of a Christchurch religious group using a style other than Gothic. The hall was designed by Cecil Wood and built in 1926. The Georgian Domestic Revival building has a columned portico, quoins, multi-pane windows and a hipped roof of slate. The restraint of its design and its inconspicuous location have meant the building is often overlooked." - JW
