Coming Down

×

After many years of service as the premises of Auto Parts (Gisborne) Ltd this two storied building in Grey Street is coming down. The fine lines of this former grand residence can still be seen but the most interesting fact to emerge during demolition is the existence of a shingle roof. A number of old buildings in town have been found to have shingles under later iron roofing but none to the extent of this lot.

There must be literally thousands of shingles which formed the original roof.
