Unitec, Building 01
This is building 01 of Unitec Institute of Technology in Point Chevalier, Auckland. Built in the 1860s as a lunatic asylum, with bricks most probably manufatured on site. Timespanner has a timeline of the history of this building.

A beautiful building, despite it’s original purpose. I’m glad you showed the larger view.
