The Star Thursday May 12 2022 16 NEWS • By Mick Jensen PROMINENT Lyttelton building the British Hotel has a new owner and he plans to restore it to its original status. Roland Logan has purchased the building from previous owners Rebecca Lovell-Smith and Christian Carruthers on an as-is, where-is condition. Work on restoring the 1940s building will begin straight away. It will be completed in two stages with stage one involving the reinstating of the parapet, new roof and guttering and the replacement of glass on the top floor. The second stage will require consents and will involve some redesign, fire upgrades, toilets in the basement and earthquake strengthening. Logan said the restoration project was well worth doing and he wanted to reinstate the building to how it once was. It would include restoring the five hotel rooms upstairs. He and some mates would work on stage one, which was expected to take three months. He hoped to have the project wrapped up entirely by early next year. Logan said he was a ‘‘handson’’ person, who didn’t consider himself to be a businessman as such, but rather a supporter of heritage. ‘‘I am frustrated by the way heritage is largely ignored in this country and I want to do my bit to preserve something here.’’ Another reason he is taking on the project is because he has been denied permission to move the centrally-located NG building on Madras St to a new site for restoration. Instead that building will now be demolished to make way for Christchurch’s new stadium. ‘‘In some ways this purchase is my consolation for not being able to tackle the other project,’’ Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz Plan to return British Hotel to former glory Don’t be colD this winter Phone now for our winter heat pump specials plus prompt expert advice and installation.
