46: Ladies Rest Rooms

This is the 'Ladies Rest Rooms' in the Palmerston North Square- a delightful art deco building from a different era. And it is as beautiful inside as out, and is lovingly kept clean by the the supervisor.

Sad thing is, Council added a boring modern box on the back for i-Site. Seems like a travesty when this little building is such a gem on its own.

  5. Michèle, they have added a Men's Room- but also a tourist office. There used to be a separate men's toilet block but it was somewhat problematic. I am not sure why they felt the need to ruin the building with a tourist office when there was a perfectly good possie in the Council building that had already encroached on the Square on the other side. Maalie, it is easy enough while it is summer and sunny but I know it will be harder in winter! Andrew, I haven't heard any fuss and bother about her coming here. She just doesn't know a good place when she misses it!
