Waimate

 This is believed to be New Zealand’s first indoor shopping mall, built
between 1905 and 1907 in Waimate.  The original owner was William Quinn,
Makikihi landowner and businessman, came from Northern Ireland,  it was converted to Arcadia Theatre between
1918 to 1920. It is an amazing building and I wish I could have seen it on
the inside.
