Victoria House Still a Shell
No practical work has been done yet toward the restoration or rebuilding of Victoria House, the five-storey brick warehouse in Victoria street, Wellington, gutted by fire early in the year. It is understood that lack of finance is causing the hold-up. Correspondence has passed between the city engineer’s department and the owner on the urgency that something should be done to make the premises safe, even if rebuilding is at present out of the question.
