Craigs Investment Partners is proud to sponsor the Rotorua Museum Centennial Project, which will complete the Bath House building to its original proposed specifications, and provide greatly enhanced museum facilities.
Nearly 100 years after opening, the Rotorua Bath House remains uncompleted. Although it stands as one of New Zealand’s most iconic heritage buildings, significant features of the original plans are missing.
When the Bath House opened in 1908 the building was only partially constructed. As a result of funding shortages, the extreme northern wing and most of the southern wing were not built.
