About this building
The Bing Harris Co. and the Clarion buildings were completely renovated and earthquake strengthened and the two buildings are now connected, sharing a common stairwell and lift.
The Bing, Harris & Co. Building was built by and housed the general merchants and importing firm that Mr Bing and Mr Harris established in Dunedin in 1852. In addition to importing goods they established factories in Dunedin making shirts, clothing, boots, hosiery etc. Their large three story head office on High Street was built in stages as the firm expanded. The first stage, in 1863, was the first brick building in Dunedin and was followed by further expansion in 1868, 1875 and 1880. Bing, Harris & Co. only closed down in 2015 but it had long ago vacated its High Street residence.
The Clarion Building was designed by William Mason and constructed in 1878. It was originally home to the retail drapers Kirkpatrick and Glendining, and subsequently to the hardware merchants Paterson and Barr.
