Old BNZ Building

Banking facilities within the district began in 1914 with a weekly agency. It was regularly visited by an Auckland branch officer who made the trip from the city either by train to Kaipara Flats, or aboard the steamship Hauiti and is now used commercially. In 1929 a new building was erected in Neville Street. Additions were made in the 1950's and has since undergone extensive additions and upgrades and is now used as other commercial interests. A brand new BNZ building is next door.
