A trio of Napier's Art Deco buildings are being brought back to their former glory with a helping hand from the Robert McGregor Heritage Fund.
Launched by the Art Deco Trust and Napier City Council just over a year ago, the fund allows historic building owners to apply for grants
worth up to $10,000, and has so far provided funding to owners of nine buildings in Napier.
The latest funding round agreed to support work to spruce up the facades of three CBD buildings.
The first was the 1933 former Bank of New South Wales building on Hastings St, which was sold to new owners earlier this year.
"We are delighted to receive this grant which will assist with the painting of the facade. This will really bring together all the hard work completed over the past few months during the renovation and really bring the building back to life," owner Carol Howard said.
