As Eric Webster writes: "This extraordinary image is of a piece
of brick that was rescued by my late father from JRGS as it underwent
the indignity of demolition. But more... this is probably the only
piece of that hallowed edifice to be found in New Zealand - until
somebody reports otherwise.
"It rests in honoured peace on our kitchen table. It is clearly
identifiable as New Zealand because it is upside down. And you will know
that it is not Oz nor RSA when I tell you that it is pouring with rain
outside.
"One wonders where else in the world these fractions of magnificence
reside, quietly content that their great work is done and will never be
forgotten."
