The History of Westerman’s & Growth of the CBD with M Fowler

A special talk with Hawke's Bay historian, Michael Fowler, at the much-loved Westerman's building.

As one of the first major buildings to be built after the 1931 earthquake, the iconic Westerman’s Building is a prime example of Spanish Mission design. The premises was once the premier retail outlet in Hastings and is considered a much-loved landmark with its ornamental façade and beautiful decorative features. The building is at the heart of Hastings CBD which developed at pace from the 1930’s onwards.

Part of the 150th Commemoration of Hastings Township.

No Cover Charge but there is a limited capacity of 100 people.
