- Description
Edmund Anscombe's proposal for a building on the corner of Hunter Street and Lambton Quay, Wellington, New Zealand
Ben Schrader identified the site of this proposed building by Anscombe, March 2009.
This site is occupied by the MLC (Mutual Life and Citizens Assurance Company Ltd) Building by Wellington architects Mitchell & Mitchell. This was built between 1938 and 1940. Though Anscombe's design is generally similar to Mitchell & Mitchell's building, it appears that it was not designed in the late 1930s. On the right hand side of the drawing can be seen the clock tower of the Wellington Athenaeum which was demolished in 1933. This suggests a design that may have been made in the late 1920s or early 1930s.
