Friday Fotos – Australian Mutual Provident Society building

January 31, 2020 By Terry

An era goneby - architecture meant to last — One of the things that caught me about this building was the names done in raised letters and part of the original architecture.

The Australian Mutual Providence Society was formed in 1849. The insurance company is now one of Australia’s largest insurance companies. This building, is an example of the use of the local Omaru stone, which is quarried not far from the town of Omaru. While this building now houses a restaurant, it stands proudly as an example of architecture from a time when buildings were built to last.

About Terry

I started out as a skip tracer. Just in case you don’t know, that’s the guy who finds the people who don’t want to be found. It was the little things—getting paid to lie—that made skip tracing the fun part of the job.

Those years of chasing deadbeats taught me many valuable life lessons, such as liars come from all walks of life, and always keep your car in the garage.
