Description
A colour slide showing the Elizabeth Street flats probably taken from Matapihi Rail Bridge. Recorded by the photographer as ‘Elizabeth St. Flats’. "Tauranga city skyline will take on a new look when this seven-storey block of owner-occupied luxury apartments is completed. To be known as Elizabeth Heights, the building is rapidly taking shape on a site next to National Airways in Elizabeth Street. The ground floor will house general servicing facilities while the remaining six floors will each contain two apartments. Internal fittings, carpets, drapes, etc. are to be provided to the customer's choice and every apartment will have a clear view embracing the city centre and the whole of the harbour." Bay of Plenty Photo News, 11 November 1967
