N1  - Includes bibliographical references and index
N2  - "Features 20 notable structures which, for various reasons, no longer exist.  Most of the buildings have been demolished in the name of urban development, creating controversy ...  Each building is discussed and illustrated including the circumstances of its demise. The selection includes: Ruapekapeka pa in Northland (burned down deliberately), Admiralty House in Auckland (demolished to make way for new roads) Wellington's Parliament Buildings (accidental fire) Invercargill's Seacliff Asylum (fire), TJ Edmonds landmark factory (bulldozed). What emerges is a fascinating social and historical narrative that sheds light on parts of New Zealand's cultural history and reveals the truth of the old adage that history repeats"---Publisher information
