No. 1 The Strand, 1883- (Place)

SummaryAlso known as: Tauranga Bond Store, Old Bond Store

No. 1 The Strand is a two-storey brick bonded warehouse at the northern end of The Strand, Tauranga, built in 1883 for merchant James Alexander Mann. One of New Zealand's few surviving bond stores and Tauranga's oldest remaining commercial building, it stored imported goods under Customs control before duties were paid. Mann established the warehouse to support Tauranga's future as a port, and its operation helped retain the town's status as a customs port. The building later housed Guinness Brothers for more than 70 years. Its solid brick construction, massive kauri beams, barred windows and underfloor ventilation system reflect its original warehouse function. Carefully restored, it remains in commercial use and is recognised as a Heritage New Zealand Category 1 Historic Place.SourcesHeritage New Zealand, Pouhere Taonga List No 7738Records compiled by Mann & Company and Guinness Brothers Limited at No. 1 The Strand, TaurangaGuinness Brothers and the Tauranga Bond Store: The Past and the Curious
