Canterbury Provincial Council Buildings (with Avon River punter in foreground)

The Canterbury Provincial Council Buildings, designed in 1858 by Benjamin Mountfort, is a stone building today regarded as one of Mountfort's most important works. From the exterior, the building appears austere, as was much of Mountfort's early work: a central tower dominates two flanking gabled wings in the Gothic revival style.
