Recently spent time at the Macmillan Brown Library at the University of Canterbury, where the original plans for Dorset Street Flats are held. With over 100,000 items, the library's architectural drawings collection is one of the largest in New Zealand. Following his retirement, Sir Miles Warren donated an almost complete set of plans and drawings from the early Warren & Mahoney projects to the archive, where they are now held under the accession number 1421.
For Dorset Street Flats, there are 27 individual sheets, made up of plans, detailed drawings, sketches and watercolours. Our thanks to archivist Erin Kimber for overseeing the digitisation of the materials. These will be posted on the dorsetstreetflats.com website in the next few weeks, and will be of invaluable help to the restoration work on the flats.
