Additional information

Arthur Francis Stacey (1888-1952) was a prominent valuer and estate agent in Christchurch. An obituary in The Press listed his accomplishments:

Mr Stacey was recognised as one of the most successful property salesmen in New Zealand. Among the biggest deals which he negotiated were sales of Warner’s and the United Service Hotels, and Stranges’ buildings which, before being subdivided, comprised a large block extending along both High and Lichfield streets. He also was responsible for the construction of New Regent Street, on the site of the Coliseum building.
