165-177 Lambton Qy
At the heart of Lambton Quay is the majestic Kirkaldie and Stains, New Zealand’s premier department store that was established in 1863 by John Kirkcaldie – a Scottish draper, and Robert Stains – a retailer from London. Once you’ve been ushered through the door by the uniformed commissionaire, take your time exploring the exquisite range of clothing, perfume, and home ware.
At Christmas time there is a very substantial Christmas shop. Children will love visiting and maybe even find Santa!!
Excellent toilets in this department store.
The main façade of the building dates from 1906 being largely designed by William Turnbull. For further information and comment on the addition in 1989 of the twin 13-storey towers see "Wellington'sOld Buildings", by David Kernohan.
