| 説明 | Some historical buildings in New Plymouth. •Richmond cottage, 206 Ariki Street. Simple stone cottage built 1854 for the Richmond family who arrived in 1853, cleared their land near New Plymouth and built this for a “town house” within the fortifications. Rebuilt in Ariki St in 1963. •New Plymouth Opera House (theatre), 94 Devon St. Built in 1925. •St Aubyn Chambers, 1 Queen St. Built in 1927/28 around a curve as a grand three storey office building. Neo classical or stripped classical in style. Converted to a motel and then apartments from 1975. The architect Francis Messenger was a local New Plymouth professional. His local buildings include the cenotaph, the Inglewood Town Hall, extensions to St Mary’s church, the Holy Trinity Anglican Church, the New Plymouth Savings Bank (87 Devon St) etc and some of the buildings listed below. •The White Hart Hotel, 120 Devon St. Looks Australian in style. Built in 1886 to replace the former wooden White Hart Hotel built in 1844. Note the White Hart statue on the parapet. Francis Messenger added the balconies in 1909. •Devonport Flats at 127 St Aubyn St. This interesting four storey apartment block was completed in 1924. Francis Messenger was the architect. •New Plymouth Boys High School 95 Eliot St. This began as New Plymouth High School in 1882 in a wooden building which burnt down in 1916. A grand white Edwardian Gothic style building named Pridham Hall replaced it in 1919. The stone entrance gates were completed in 1923. •Whiteley Methodist Mission House at 453 St Aubyn St. We might drive past this historic white painted wooden house. It is special as the Wesleyan Mission Society purchased land from the Maori in January 1840 before the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi. The Mission house was erected in 1844 and has been owned by the Methodist church ever since. The second missionary Rev John Whiteley lived in the house from 1857 until he was killed by Maoris in 1869. The house then became a parsonage for Maori descent missionaries and then in the 20th century it came under the control of the Maori Division of the Methodist church. It is now used as a community centre. Taranaki Anglican Cathedral, 37 Vivian St. This newish cathedral is situated in the cathedral church of St Mary. Taranaki was part of the Diocese of Waikato (Hamilton) when it was formed in 1926. Then it became a pro cathedral church in 1976 with the first Bishop of Taranaki being appointed in 1999 but there were two bishops in the one diocese. Taranaki Cathedral was only created in 2010 for the Diocese of Waikato and Taranaki. In 2013 the current bishop Philip Richardson was ordained as the archbishop of New Zealand Aotearoa and Polynesia. Reverend William Bolland was appointed as the first vicar in 1842 after Bishop Selwyn obtained a free land grant for the church from the Crown. Rev Bolland opened the first St Mary’s church in 1846 but he contracted a fever and died in 1847(aged 27 years) whereupon he was buried in the new cemetery surrounding the church. The first part of St Mary’s Anglican Church was built in 1845/46 making it the oldest stone church in New Zealand. The original church was a small rectangular church designed by architect Frederick Thatcher, an architect used for many ecclesiastical buildings by Bishop Selwyn (remember buildings in Parnell in Auckland). The nave was extended between 1859 and 1862 when the porch was also added in the same style of Frederick Thatcher’s original nave. In 1893 another major NZ architect Benjamin Mountford of Christchurch added the apse, the chancel, the sanctuary and the organ chamber. In 1915 another architect designed All Saints side chapel and the northern transept. The grounds include the historic New Plymouth cemetery with grand English trees. During the Taranaki Wars the British troops took over the cemetery and penned their bullocks here! The cemetery includes memorials for the Boer War, the Maori chiefs, the Taranaki Militia, etc. |
