Free Tour of 424 Cashel...

Check out Roderick McKay's (or Rod, im sure he'd let you call him Rod) "Open Home at 424 Cashel". If you are thinking of penciling in these days i suggest throwing out that HB and getting out your ballpoints.

Sunday 19 October: 2pm – 2.20pm

Thursday 23 October: 12.30pm – 12.50pm

Sunday 26 October: 2pm – 2.20pm

All tours are 'weather permitting' so i guess if it's snowing, stay in.

Here's some stuff Rod has to say...

Great site:
anchored within the city grid.
centred on defining dichotomies:
commercial centre – suburbs
city – sea
industrial – residential

Local focus:
evolving neighbourhood
local service through clothing, nourishment, entertainment, and comfort
repository of memories

Great potential
Build on the past? Or a new start?
