Barrett's Hotel (towards the end of Lambton Quay at the foot of the cliff in the middle distance); [no number 11 but Pearse has duplicated number 12 on the flanks of Mount Victoria to the left]; 12. Spot on Wellington Terrace behind J. P.'s office on the Beach - a difficult and dangerous clamber or crawl when a quiet retired cut to the works taken; 13. Front of Deighton's house on The Terrace where J. P. first lodged (a point on the right of The Terrace, part-way up); 14. Where the Kumutoto Bridge has been built. The project emanated from J.P. - roadway continued from Terrace (a flat spot above the small gorge formed by the Kumutoto Stream, modern Woodward Street) Likely to have been drawn after January 1855 because the companion view on the same page, E-455-f-032-1, mentions 'the late Baron Alzdorf'. Alzdorf died in January 1855 during the Wellington earthquake. The drawing of Dr T S Ralph's house also indicates a date of 1855.
