Antonio Hall, Heritage building in Riccarton Road, Christchurch, New Zealand.

The large mansion at 265 Riccarton Road features multiple wings, a chapel, lecture rooms, and accommodation spaces added during its various transformations.

Built in 1909 for grocery merchant Thomas Kincaid, the property changed ownership in 1946 when the Roman Catholic Church acquired it for training priests.

The building shifted from a private residence to a religious education center, then became a student hostel named Campion Hall until 1980.

The structure sustained substantial earthquake damage in 2011 and remains closed to visitors, though it serves for Red Cross and Civil Defence training.

Mrs. Luisetti renamed the property Antonio Hall in memory of her late son after purchasing it from the Catholic Church in the 1980s.
