Guthrey Centre, Renaissance commercial building in Christchurch, New Zealand
The Guthrey Centre spans 1,500 square meters across four two-level buildings, featuring a facade that reflects Renaissance architectural elements in its design.
Built in 1881 by architect William Armson, the structure initially served as offices for Andersons Foundry before its demolition following the 2011 earthquake.
The building received recognition from the New Zealand Institute of Architecture in 1989 for its contribution to Christchurch's architectural heritage.
The current Guthrey Centre houses 14 retail stores in central Christchurch, serving as a commercial hub for local shoppers and visitors.
John Anderson purchased the original site for merely £12 in 1852, transforming it from a blacksmith shop into a significant engineering enterprise.
