Old BNZ Building, Heritage office building in Wellington, New Zealand.
The Old BNZ Building features prominent red brick construction with decorative stonework, arched windows, and intricate cornices across its four-story facade on Hunter Street.
Built in 1901 as the headquarters for the Bank of New Zealand, the structure represented a shift of the bank's operations from London back to Wellington.
The building demonstrates the influence of Edwardian architecture in New Zealand through its symmetrical composition, stylized pilasters, and classical design elements.
Located in central Wellington, the structure now functions as a shopping and office complex, offering retail spaces and commercial facilities to visitors.
Four separate Bank of New Zealand buildings compose the current Old Bank Arcade, forming a coherent architectural ensemble in downtown Wellington.
