Burns Building demolition (Video 1)

Video

CollectionBurns BuildingDescription

This video “shows the demise of the building in a different way, with the half-unscrewed sign putting in one last effort to stay, and the falling debris in the background shows the inevitability and futility of this struggle.”

-Don Royds

This photo was submitted to Living Heritage Tikaka Tuku Iho for the exhibition "Ode to an Icon: The Bold and Brutal of the Burns Building" to celebrate the building's history as it was demolished in 2024. The exhibition was curated by Library staff and held in Waimarie July/August 2024.
