Wellington’s Dominion Building, built in 1928, is one of the city’s most recognisable heritage buildings.
And it’s the bell tower right in the centre that catches the eye. Today, the tower has a balcony, and the building is no longer newspaper offices, having been converted into apartments, but in all other respects, it looks the same, thanks to the Historic Places Category 2 listing.
For the first time in 15 years, the three-level penthouse in the tower has come onto the market. It is owned by John and Jacquie Archibald, who downsized from a large house to the penthouse after their family grew up and left home – they now intend to move to their Kapiti Coast holiday home permanently.
