Webb, Steffano Francis, 1880?-1967
This was Exhibit B in a successful action in the Court of Appeal brought by George Gould (1865-1941) and the Save the Square Committee against the Christchurch City Council in 1930. As the existing tram shelter had been constructed on reserve land in 1907, it was considered that the Tramway Board had no legal right to construct buildings on the land. Extensions planned included public lavatories. The model is shown from in front of the Cathedral with the central post office and the Royal Exchange building in the background
