This was the closest I could get. Corner of Colombo St and Byron St.
The top front wall has now gone.
In Colombo St, Sydenham
Photo taken Jan 2011 - the cracks in the front of the building get a little bigger with each aftershock.
Colombo Street between Moorhouse and Brougham is in a bad way. These are all closed; the shop at centre has collapsed.
The Greek Souvlaki place was closed for several months while the building next door got demolished.

Another hole has appeared in the street where a building has been demolished. Selwyn Dealers next door sensibly moved all their stock away from the adjoining wall just in case.
Still standing in Jan 2011 - but the buildings future is unknown - It is probably destined to be demolished.
