The Wanganui Club

The illustrations on page 18 are of the New Club house in course of erection for the Wanganui Club. The elevations are being carried out in pressed brick and cement facings. The roof is being covered with Marseilles tiles. It was at first intended that the Loggia and facings were to be carried out in granite, but owing to the cost of the stone it was cut out and cement substituted. The. accommodation consisted of a Lounge, Billiard Room, with four. tables, Sitting Rooms, Dining Room, Committee Rooms, Card Rooms, Stranger's and Secretary's. Room. The Staff and Kitchen quarters are most complete in every detail.

The interior decoration, of which the view of the Lounge is a sample, is being carried out in plaster, relieved by timber. The building will be lit by electricity generated by a private plant. It is expected that the building will be completed early in the New Year. The Contractors for the building are Messrs.' Russell & Bignell of Wanganui, and the Architects, Messrs. Rush & James of Hastings. The total cost will be between £9,000 and £IO,OOO.
