Dec 7, 2025 Art Deco
A quick walk around Napier, the Art Deco Capital of the World! We had a little time the last few days to see a bit of the Art Deco architecture in Napier’s Central Business District.
A reader board explains the reason there is a preponderance of Art Deco style in Napier. The 1931 earthquake destroyed the CBD and it was rebuilt in the style of the era!
The first building we explored was the Tobacco Company building, which was open but not set up yet for the Gin tasting tour. We didn’t stay to imbibe.
A few other building facades around town.
