Crucial investment in earthquake strengthening has saved some of
Christchurch's most important older buildings but the city's heritage had
still suffered a terrible blow.
Christchurch's iconic Anglican Cathedral in Cathedral Square and the
Catholic Basilica in Barbadoes Street escaped relatively unscathed as did
the landmark The Press building.
But many of Christchurch's and Canterbury's character commercial
buildings, which many regard as giving the city its soul, were badly hit
and many of the region's smaller historic churches and grandest old homes
have been devastated.
The historic Hororata and Home Bush homesteads in inland Canterbury,
Ohinetahi homestead at Governor's Bay and Godley House, at Diamond Harbour
were severely damaged.
Former Christchurch City councillor and current member of the Historic
Places Trust Board Anna Crighton said the earthquake had been
''unbelievably destructive''.
''What broke my heart was to see the facade of the 1882 Oxford Terrace
Baptist church, the pedament and tableture, just split like paper and I
can't see how that is going to be restored.''
Falling chimneys had done a lot of damage, she said.
''I worry for the heritage of the city because the whole character of the
city and the what is Christcurch is articulated by those lovely little
buildings as well as the big ones,'' she said.
City council environmental policy and approval manager Steve McCarthy said
he needed more information before he could give a detailed picture of the
destruction but at least 125 commerical buildings in the city had
''serious to semi-serious'' damaged.
No buildings had been condemned but six in the inner city were regarded as
unsafe.
