Stone Store, Heritage building in Kerikeri, New Zealand.

The Stone Store stands as a sturdy stone structure near the Kerikeri River, featuring Georgian architectural elements with symmetrical design and local stone materials.

Built in 1836 as a Church Missionary Society trading post, the Stone Store used sandstone from Australia and volcanic rocks with burnt shell mortar.

The Stone Store represents early European and Māori interactions, serving as a commercial hub where goods and supplies were exchanged between communities.

Visitors can explore historical exhibits, purchase heritage items, and join guided tours that explain the building's evolution from trading post to museum.

The Stone Store maintains its position as New Zealand's oldest surviving stone building, constructed with iron ties and window bars forged by James Kemp.
