A building kept its faceSourced
After earthquake damage, a century-old store lost its building but kept its front.
The Christchurch furniture-store building dated to 1910. It was demolished in 2015 after the 2010–11 earthquakes, while its historic facade was strengthened and restored with a new complex built behind it.
The street kept a familiar face.
