Milne & Choyce, Heritage New Zealand Category 2 building in Queen Street, Auckland, New Zealand
The nine-floor building at 131-141 Queen Street features six elevators and stands as a notable example of 1920s commercial architecture.
Mary Jane and Charlotte Milne established their first drapery shop in 1867, laying the foundation for what became a major department store.
In 1947, the store presented a fashion show with original Paris designs by Christian Dior, introducing international fashion to Auckland.
The store expanded to multiple locations, including a Remuera branch with a coffee bar overlooking Hobson Bay and three-floor retail space.
The centenary celebration in 1966 created a historical exhibit that remained at the Auckland War Memorial Museum until 2015.
