-
This image was taken at Terrace End Cemetery. The Baker Mausoleum was built in 1919. Henry Baker was a victim of the 1918 influenza epidemic which resulted more that 6,000 deaths in New Zealand. Baker was a hotel proprietor who owned the Clarendon Hotel on the corner of Rangitikei Street and The Square, opposite the Bank of New Zealand. His sons Newett and Douglas owned the Standard Brewery in Featherston Street from 1919 to 1953, when the business was sold to New Zealand Breweries. Production ceased at what became the Lion Brewery in 1985 and the building has since been demolished.
