Poll: Do you know this building at Waikato Diocesan School for Girls?
A Hamilton school has been given the green light to demolish most of one of its most recognisable buildings, despite concerns about the loss of heritage.
Waikato Diocesan School for Girls applied for resource consent to knock down a large portion of Cherrington House, a nearly 100-year-old, earthquake-prone building. The plan is to make a new administration block that will retain the central part of the original western façade, expand the floor area about 20% and reference the original style.
