The University of Canterbury, founded in 1873 in two rooms of the public library, moved to the gracious 19th century gothic-styled buildings which now comprise the Arts Centre, in 1876. Its first building was the clock tower in Worcester Street designed by the pre-eminent Gothic Revival architect, Benjamin Mountfort, and was completed in 1877. The rest of the stone buildings, designed by a number of prominent Canterbury architects such as Samuel Hurst Seager and W B Armson .
These beautiful buildings are now in danger of being demolished due to recent earthquake damage. (5 years and 2942 days ago)

How sad if they cannot be saved and are demolished. This is a beautiful photo, it really shows the exquisite stone work at its best. Nice work.

It would be a shame if such beautiful architecture was replaced with the modern tripe that passes for class.

Beautiful shot. You've done a really nice job of making the building level - no easy feat considering the angles and perspective along with camera lens distortion!
