Haurongo: Sheppard, Fergus George Frederick

Fergus Sheppard (centre) shows Sir John Ilott (left), chair of the Trustees of the National Library of New Zealand, and Geoffrey Alley, the National Librarian (right), a model of a proposed National Library building, intended for a site in Hill Street, Wellington (never built) in the mid-1960s.
The model also shows the Beehive and Parliament House. Directly behind the Beehive is the low-lying Broadcasting House, the Bowen State Building and the Charles Fergusson Building, all government office buildings completed during Sheppard’s time as Government Architect.
