Wellington Harbour Board Head Office and Bond Store

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 is a historic building on Jervois Quay in Wellington, New Zealand. Designed by Frederick de Jersey Clere in the French Second Empire style, it was built from 1891 to 1892. The building currently houses the Wellington Museum.

The building was completed in 1892 and functioned as the administrative center for Wellington's port operations for nearly a century. Its purpose shifted significantly after the Harbour Board dissolved in 1989, leading to its transformation into a public cultural space.

The building houses the Wellington Museum today, where exhibitions document the city's connection to maritime trade and regional growth through carefully arranged displays. Visitors walking through the spaces can see how the port shaped the community's development.

The building stands on Jervois Quay, facing the Wellington waterfront, and now houses the Wellington Museum. It is a Category 1 Historic Place, so look for the heritage listing marker on the facade. The former Harbour Board offices and the Bond Store occupy the same structure, with the quay entrance giving direct access from the waterfront.

The building was commissioned in 1890 by the Wellington Harbour Board to replace wooden structures from the 1860s, and it is now listed as a Category 1 Historic Place by Heritage New Zealand. Since 1989 it has housed the Wellington Museum, after the Harbour Board's commercial functions passed to CentrePort Wellington.
