Who Lived There? - Horeke

From The Weekend , 10:05 am on 1 January 2022

Have you ever stood in front of a building wondered what its story is? 

Today we're starting a series on New Zealand architecture which will run every day on the weekend, throughout January. It's called 'Who Lived There' and is based on a book of the same name. Jane King took the photographs and Nic McCloy researched and wrote down the stories of dozens of significant buildings and places. Nic is sharing some of them with us this summer and today we're beginning with one of the oldest sights in the book... Horeke.
