Bird House Completed at NZP
Close
PrintThe new Bird House, replacing one that had been in use since 1900, was completed. The building was designed by Municipal Architect Albert L. Harris and was the first house completed under Director William Mann's tenure. It was substantially altered in a 1963-65 renovation, which created the Indoor Flight Cage; during this renovation the elaborate cast concrete entrance designed by Mann's friend Stephen Haweis was transferred to interior of the building and became the new entrance to the Indoor Flight Cage.
