What would you do with an air traffic control tower?
Known to Airways New Zealand staff as “The Grand Old Lady of Wellington”, and to its neighbours as “Arnold”, Wellington's historic traffic control tower is for sale.
Not surprisingly, Tommy’s Real Estate agents Billy Bell and Jess Platt describe it as the most unique property they have listed.
“We’ve had unusual looking houses, but never anything quite like this so it’s exciting to be involved.”
Be warned, however, it needs earthquake strengthening and only has one loo.
It is believed to be the only control tower in the world with a residential address and its own letterbox.
Wouldn't it make a great house?

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
