New Banners mark Town Hall's 30th
More than 30 banners have been put up around the city
centre to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Christchurch
Town Hall. The banners also acknowledge the important
role that performing arts play in our city. Land for the Town
Hall was purchased in 1963, the foundation stone was laid in
1969 and the hall was officially opened on 30 September
1972. In 1973, Warren and Mahoney was awarded a gold
medal by the NZ Institute of Architects for its design. Lisa
Hoffman, the Council's Promotion Co-ordinator, says it is
great to be able to acknowledge the anniversary of the
much-loved Town Hall through these banners. |
