Napier, New Zealand, December 24, 2018: Daily Telegraph building, one of Napier's most famous art deco buildings. After an earthquake in 1931 Napier was rebuilt in art deco style.; Shutterstock ID 1308112384;

The Daily Telegraph is one of the stars of Napier's art-deco show, with superb zigzags, fountain shapes and a symmetrically patterned facade. If the front doors are open, nip inside and ogle the painstakingly restored foyer (it's a resource management office these days). There's a folder of amazing old photos to leaf through on the front counter.
