Map of Dominion Building, Wellington, 6011, New Zealand
A distinctive seven-storey building of some elegance, The Dominion has a frontage of stone imported from Caen in France and interiors of Queensland marble. The building follows the bend in the road. Its most striking feature is topped by a copper-covered tower with a lantern turret.
In the mid-1970s, The Dominion Post moved out of the building and the complex was redesigned by Ian Athfield in 1995.
The building is classified as a "Category 2" by Heritage New Zealand.
