Red sticker prevents public access to McLean's Mansion in Christchurch

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

Hundreds of people turned up to tour one of the world's largest timber homes on the weekend, only to find the gates closed.

Organisers were forced to make a last minute decision on Friday to cancel the open days at the 118-year-old, 53-room McLean's Mansion, in central Christchurch, when it was discovered the building was structurally unsafe and still subject to a Section 45 notice (red sticker).

It's not yet known how long it will take for the notice to be lifted, but if it could be lifted this week there is a chance the open days could still be held before scheduled work begins later this month. Otherwise the open days will be delayed until October.
