99 Quay St Auckland

Usually seen from the South facing front the old Ferry Building on Auckland waterfront is a classic structure and somewhat out of place now but standing proud.
This is a north west/west facing view and I liked it as it shows the original and old steps down to the water (second picture).
Its construction finished in 1912 at a cost of 67,944 pounds! Remember them? Those accountants never off round the records. Still that was a lot of money back then.
The architect was Alex Wiseman. And appararently the style of architecture is called Edwardian Baroque. Did we need to know that?
Anyway its made from sandstone and brick layed on a base of Coramandel granite. Nowdays it houses mostly shops.
