Excelsior Hotel, Christchurch

The Excelsior Hotel in 120 Manchester Street, Christchurch, originally the Borough Hotel, in recent years known as Excelsior Backpackers or New Excelsior Backpackers, was a Category I heritage building in central Christchurch. It was designed by then most prominent architect, William Armson, and was one of the few remaining examples of his work in the city. It was heavily damaged in the February 2011 Christchurch earthquake, and all but its western facade has been demolished.
==History==
A hotel was first built on the site in 1865, called the Harp of Erin. It was renamed the Borough Hotel in 1870, and was subsequently known as Barrett's Family Hotel after it was purchased by John Barrett in 1878. On Boxing Day in 1879, Protestants who paraded along Manchester Street on their way to the railway station were attacked by Irish Catholics outside Barrett's hotel, resulting in several hospitalisations. A similar attack happened in Timaru around the same time. Rumours started that the attack was planned at Barrett's hotel and that he himself was involved and he was arrested on 30 December. Barrett lost his liquor licence over the affair and, in order to restore his reputation, had the old building pulled down.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.newexcelsior.co.nz/history.html )
Barrett engaged William Armson, then one of the foremost architects, to design a new hotel. He had employed Armson before for the Durham Arms, a building at 328 Durham Street demolished sometime after 2000.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=New Excelsior Backpackers )〕 The new hotel was built in 1881 or 1882, and in 1906, the name changed to Excelsior Hotel.〔
The building was purchased by the Christchurch Heritage Trust in 1997 to save it from demolition.〔 It was heavily damaged in the February 2011 Christchurch earthquake, but there are plans to rebuild it. It was again bought by the Christchurch Heritage Trust in July 2011 so that it might be restored. The western façade of the historic building will be retained.
