Massey Memorial, White marble memorial on Point Halswell, Wellington City, New Zealand.

The memorial features seven marble columns arranged in a semicircle, leading to a marble pathway that connects to the crypt entrance.

The structure, completed in 1930, honors William Ferguson Massey, who served as Prime Minister of New Zealand from 1912 until his death in 1925.

The memorial incorporates architectural elements from New Zealand, utilizing Kairuru marble and Coromandel granite in its construction and design features.

Visitors can access the memorial through maintained pathways, with parking facilities and informative signage available at the entrance point.

The memorial repurposed a World War I fort, transforming a gun pit into a marble-lined vault beneath the central dome structure.
