Old Buildings Demolished
Two old historic buildings opposite the National Airways office in Bright Street left the Gisborne scene in no mean manner when they were demolished in less than two days by Monk Bros. Ltd.
One of the buildings was once the Alhambra Club...the forerunner to the present Cosmopolitan Club. It will be well remembered by many older Gisborne residents.
