The Daily Telegraph Building

The Daily Telegraph Building is one of Napier’s notable Art Deco landmarks, reflecting the city’s distinctive rebuilding style after the 1931 earthquake. Originally home to the local newspaper, it stands out for its clean geometric lines and period detailing, offering a glimpse into Napier’s architectural character and civic history. While best appreciated from the street, it is a worthwhile stop on a walk through the city centre, especially for visitors interested in design, heritage, or the story of how Napier reinvented itself in the early 20th century.
