Wellington Trades' Hall
Website
The Wellington Trades Hall building has architectural value as a good example of mid-1920s neo-Classicism.
The building is historically significant for its direct association with the union movement and efforts to improve the welfare of workers. It has specific connections to events such as the 1951 Waterfront Dispute and it was the site of the 1984 Trades Hall bombing, which killed the building’s caretaker. The building also has historical connections to the New Zealand Labour Party.
The building remains the symbolic and sentimental home of Wellington unions, some of which still use the building.
