We were so grateful for the freedom camping provided by the city of Feilding that we spent an hour or so in the downtown looking for more art deco buildings. We found a few, but it was a misguided search, as it turned out: Feilding [sic] was founded in the late Victorian era (before spell-check, I might add), most of its historic structures are Edwardian, and the city actually has ordinances encouraging and preserving Edwardian architecture. Whatever that is. Nonetheless...

As noted here, one of the architectural heritage buildings
burned in the 90s, but was faithfully rebuilt... |
 |
| Struck us as art deco nonetheless |
 |
| As did the one across the street |
 |
Same block...the dates on this building structure us as art nouveau,
something one does not see in New Zealand... |
 |
| Back to art deco |
 |
| Another curiosity... |
 |
| Detail: sort of a Guimardian sea horse? |

Nice place, Feilding; BTW, it has won the "most beautiful town"
in New Zealand award 15 (fifteen) times |
