Caption
Alexander Suttie and stonemasons at Tai Tapu Church.
The photo was taken of my great grandfather Alexander Suttie while helping to build the Tai Tapu Church. He was a stonemason and also helped to build the Sign of the Takahe building on Cashmere Hill. His signature is one of the group retained on a wall downstairs in the Takahe building. The photo has been passed down through the family and I recently had it reframed. The names of the stonemasons are hand written on the lower frame of the photo.
Date: 1930s
