A photograph captioned by BeckerFraserPhotos, "The demolition site of the Press building and Warners Hotel in Cathedral Square. The site has now been filled and compressed so that it provides a much pleasanter environment.

A digitally manipulated photograph of the Ozone Hotel's sign, leaning against a cordon fence. The photographer comments, "This sign was all that remained after the demolition of the historical Ozone Hotel, which was damaged in the Christchurch earthquakes. The sign disappeared so hopefully it will reappear at a later date in a museum. The bits of blue were the painted bricks of the hotel, which made it really stand out".
