Cunningham House at the Christchurch Botanic Gardens is still closed due to earthquake damage. I wonder if it will ever re-open or suffer the demolition fate many other iconic structures in Christchurch have.

Damage to a building on Colombo Street. Beside it is a sign that says 'Footpath closed Please use alternative route'. Ongoing demolition work and street cordons in Christchurch mean that gardens are left and becoming overgrown.
The Botanic Gardens, in the background is part of the Peacock Fountain, Christchurch I-site in a portacom on the left and the Art Centre. In the foreground is a wheelbarrow with some gardening equipment.
Plant beds made out of corrugated iron, greening the empty building sites along Colombo Street. These were placed here by Greening the Rubble, a community project in Christchurch to create temporary public parks and gardens on the sites of demolished buildings.
