New Zealand - Auckland - Looking west across Queen Street from the vicinity of John Court Limited - Mar 1916 - Photographer: Winkelmann, Henry Auckland - Between Customs Street and Wellesley Street, Queen Street is lined with retail and office buildings. - This section of the street is where the majority of the high-rise buildings are located. - These are mostly 20th century in origin, although a number of 19th century structures survive. - Many large corporations, insurance companies and banks had substantial buildings on Queen Street and in some cases their head offices were located here rather than in Wellington.
