A sign outside the Croydon House Bed and Breakfast Hotel on Armagh Street reading, "Don't touch this lady without owner's permission". The east side of the building has collapsed, the bricks falling into the neighbouring property. Tape reading, "Restricted area, please keep out" has been placed around the property.

This was a Two Storey House

People stand in front of a damaged house in New Brighton. The upper storey at the front of the house has collapsed onto the floor below. The photographer comments, "This house at 158 Marine Parade, New Brighton, Christchurch was owned by the man leaning on the fence. He lived next door and his daughter lived here. During the earthquake the 2nd storey stayed mainly whole, but the 1st collapsed. Luckily the daughter was in the top storey. She was rescued from the building by neighbours, by climbing out of the window and down a ladder. Another piece of luck is that most of the belongings were stored in boxes in the garage at the front. Though the garage also collapsed the boxes appear intact. The owner had tried to sell it previously without success".
