This volume is the second in a two part series, "Historic Buildings of New Zealand', published in conjunction with the New Zealand Historic Places Trust. It concentrates on the buildings of the South Island, using them to illustrate and tie together many aspects of New Zealand's history.

The well researched text is matched by many fine illustrations, giving old and new views of buildings both familiar and little known. Together they combine to give a fresh perspective on the history of the South Island, and to demonstrate the continuing need for preservation of our architectural and cultural heritage.

It contains information on the historic buildings lost or damaged during the Christchurch earthquakes.
