The present day and art deco style Masonic Hotel was built in 1932. However, there has been a hotel called the Masonic in this very site since 1861. The hotel has a very interesting
history. The Queen stayed here during her 1953/54 tour.

Jen, how wonderful to live in Napier. My daughter and son-in-law declared this their favorite city in NZ while on their honeymoon. Looking at your blog, I can see why.
