Barrett St Nurses’ Home – Bid to save the building – VIDEO

Description

Barrett St Nurses’ Home.

This video is about saving Barrett St Nurses’ Home. This historic building has the highest Heritage Listing (A) under the NPDC District Plan. However, it’s future is uncertain. There is no Government funding to earthquake strengthen it or to upgrade it. Currently it is fenced off, it’s windows are boarded up and it lies derelict.

Jordan McCall explains to Bryan Vickery why preserving this building is important. This video includes a brief visit to the NP Hospital archives room (where I met former nurses Julie Mace and Marcia) and Barretts Lounge

The Barrett St Nurses’ Home was one of 315 buildings that architect Frank Messenger designed (1865-1945).
