Emerson Street Review

Here you can stroll the pedestrian mall and view some of the city's finest art deco buildings such as Hannahs and the Hawke's Bay Chambers. Bowmans Building is a Louis Hay design in brick veneer with the characteristic eyebrow (brick or tiles, often curved, set over a window). Some of Hay's work was influenced by Chicago's Louis Sullivan; his best-known design is the National Tobacco Building in Ahuhiri.
