Wellington Harbour Board Head Office and Bond Store, Heritage-listed building at Jervois Quay, Wellington, New Zealand.

The Wellington Harbour Board Head Office and Bond Store features French Renaissance architecture with a mansard roof and ornate dormer windows facing the waterfront.

The structure, completed in 1892, served as the administrative center for Wellington's port operations until the dissolution of the Harbour Board in 1989.

The building now contains the Wellington Museum, displaying collections that document maritime history and regional development through multiple exhibition spaces.

Visitors can access the museum daily through the main entrance on Jervois Quay, with guided tours providing information about port operations and local history.

The original boardroom remains preserved on the upper floor, maintaining its Victorian-era furniture and architectural details from the 1890s construction period.
