April  2025

Midway in 2024, some of the finials on the Community House blew down in a major storm, and on having them inspected there was substantial rot in others and they were removed.

The decision was made to get the finials replaced, as the building was designed with them, to retain the historical accuracy as designed in 1901.

 During 2025 all twelve finials were replaced, this time being correctly made by Eden Build. This was a major undertaking, and could not have been done without the generous help of Auckland Council, through a Regional Historic Heritage Grant given to us in January 2025.
