A Bricks & Mortar Legacy

A Bricks & Mortar Legacy: Stories of Commercial Buildings in Te Awamutu 1890 – 1957
Authors: Alan Hall and Sandra Metcalfe
The Te Awamutu branch of the New Zealand Society of Genealogists have been involved in investigating the history of 32 buildings in Te Awamutu, some of which are now more than 100 years old.
The buildings, all constructed between 1890 and 1957, were selected because of their age and architecture – and in the case of the 86-year-old, Hodgson Motors building, because it faced demolition.
Information about each building was gathered from Waipa District Council’s archives, old newspapers, public consultations, and interviews, and images were sourced from photographic collections at Te Awamutu Museum.
Genealogy group members consider the many hours of research have been worth it because they are now able to provide the town with a comprehensive record of the commercial buildings and their history.
