This impressive structure is The Waitaki Boy's High School Hall of Memories, Oamaru, NZ, which was officially opened by HRH The Duke of York (later King George the VI) on 16th of March 1927. Made of local Oamaru stone (limestone) in perpendicular Gothic or Tudor. School assemblies, prizegivings and ceremonies are held in here and often Old Boys return to be married within its walls. . . . Floreat Waitakia, esto perpetua !

It is an impressive structure and it stands out so well against the sky at this angle in which you have taken the photo.

If practice makes perfect and nobody is perfect, then why practice?
I thought it said “The Hall of Mammaries” and got all excited…oh well, bummer.

What a truly majestic looking structure. The fact that it is a Hall of Memories makes it even more interesting to me. Well done!

Amazing clarity and had you not said, I would have thought this a building in England.

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.
- Hermes
A grand building. You would think a building that large would be a four door.

Just love the texture of that stone. I've never seen anything quite like it. Great photo and thanks for the history lesson as well! :)

"I never looked for it, gave it no name; yet I knew it always, when the gift of peace came. I stood quite still for the moment that it lasted...Then the light shifted slightly and the moment passed, leaving me...with the lasting echo of its presence.." Diana Gabaldon
Wonderful architecture Eve! I'm particularly impressed with the detail of the masonry here. =)
