Who Lived There? The Empire

From The Weekend , 11:14 am on 2 January 2022

We're going on a journey into Aotearoa's past now, and a very special hotel. We're continuing our series  'Who Lived There' this morning, it's based on a book of the same name which came out last year. Jane King took the photographs and Nic McCloy researched and wrote down the stories of dozens of significant buildings and places. Today Nic is taking us to The Empire in Dunedin which is now a  beautifully restored Edwardian apartment block.
