STONE BUILDING – you don’t say!

The helpful plaque on the front door of this building had an inscription in capital letters – ‘STONE BUILDING’. Wow! Like, there’s stone buildings and stone walls everywhere in Clyde! But anyway, it made me smile. Clyde, Central Otago, New Zealand.

This street was our route home to our accommodation from the town centre so we passed this building a few times. Photo above taken by Liz.

I was amazed by the massive lintels over the doors and windows. Here is a photo of the front door, taken by Nigel. The door plaque says ‘STONE BUILDING’.

The following shots were taken on our way home after our fascinating evening stroll that I posted about yesterday. Photo below taken by Liz.

HISTORY : This building has a varied past, well worth a quick read. There’s an interesting and informative paragraph about it under the heading “12. The Stone Building in Matau Street” on the Promote Dunstan page Walk Around Historic Clyde
