Auckland University, The Clock Tower.
Designed by American-born architect Roy Lippincott and his partner Edward Billson. It was built in 1923-1926 after the Auckland University College (now the University of Auckland) held a competition to design a structure to house its Arts and Commerce Faculties.

    It seems being made of delicate lace. Beautiful photo of a beautiful building.

    This is a fine art. Very good photograph. I love red signals and red brake light. The pedestrian crossing the street (may be a student?) is adding another dimension for POI.

  • Barb says:

    This is beautiful. I love all the details on this and the white just makes it look elegant.

  • “Hands down,” that wins the competition for me. I really like this building and your photograph of it.
