About this audio guide
This audio guide to Te Pae Christchurch Convention Centre is about a corner, not a conference hall: the small nineteen-twenties chemists' building at Colombo and Armagh Streets that sits inside the new centre's footprint. You'll meet the dentists and surgeons who once rented its upper floors, and Diana, Lady Isaac, the former army captain who bought it in 1999. Best heard standing on that corner, facing Victoria Square.
