Summary

Description

On 27 July 1957 the foundation stone was laid for the Departmental building in central Auckland. This building was later known as the Bledisloe State Building, and housed the Auckland offices of various government departments. The date for the ceremony was fixed after the Commissioner of Works telegraphed the Auckland District Architect to check that the date would be suitable “providing that there is not any important sporting events scheduled for this date.” The response is shown here - only an international soccer game, but no “big rugby”. A photograph of the architect’s model for the building is also included.

Information and images from Auckland District Office Ministry of Works files BBAD 1054/108e and 101a, held in Auckland Regional Office.
