Auckland University Clock Tower designed by American-born Roy Lippincott and his partner Edward Billson. It was built in 1923-1926 after the Auckland University College (now the University of Auckland).
The building consists of a main block - with its highly distinctive clock tower - and a connecting student wing to the rear (not modelled). Supervised by Lippincott, both were carried out in the same style, which is an elegant Arts and Crafts interpretation of Perpendicular Gothic. Lippincott had previously been connected with the 'Prairie School' in Chicago and had worked in the Australian practice of Walter Griffin. #Auckland_University #Clock_Tower
