Summary
| Description |
English: The Gaiety Hall is situated in Rue Jolie, Akaroa.
The façade has Italianate/Classical detailing usually executed in stone but here entirely of wood. It was built in 1879 by of the Oddfellows Lodge. They had planned from the outset that this large hall would be used not just for their meetings, but also for other community events. Through the years, the building has been the scene of dances, meetings, theatrical performances and movie showings. By the late 20th century it had become dilapidated, but a group of three local women took the venerable building in hand. The Gaiety Trust raised more than $300,000 to renovate the building. Wonderfully restored and brought back to life, it is once again a popular venue for community events. It has a NZHPT Category II listing; registration number 1719. |
