This
structure serves as the centerpiece of harbor activity
in Auckland. Built in 1912, it still serves as an
active ferry terminal thanks, in part, to a major
renovation project in the 1980’s. The structure stands
on reclaimed ground on a granite base. The building,
itself, is sandstone and brick. In a curious turn
of events, there was no official opening ceremony
for the ferry building when it was completed in the
early 20th century. To make up for the oversight,
a formal ceremony was held after its renovation in
1988.
