This was Exhibit J 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.

It was the same site as that occupied today, bounded by Hereford and Colombo Streets and Cathedral Square, and opened Sept. 1866. The main entrance was off Hereford Street.
