McRaes Hotel, Wairoa, New Zealand (circa 1886): A Glimpse into the Past This photograph offers a window into the past, showcasing McRaes Hotel in Wairoa, New Zealand, as it stood before the devastating eruption of Mount Tarawera on the 10th of June 1886. The image, dating back to the late 19th century, captures the essence of a bygone era, inviting us to explore the history and stories that unfolded within its walls. Located in the North Island of New Zealand, McRaes Hotel was a popular destination for travelers and locals alike, offering respite and hospitality amidst the picturesque landscape of Wairoa. The hotel's charming facade, with its ornate woodwork and welcoming veranda, reflects the elegance and sophistication of the Victorian era. The serene atmosphere of the scene is a stark contrast to the chaos and destruction that would soon follow. The eruption of Mount Tarawera, one of New Zealand's most cataclysmic events, would forever alter the landscape and the lives of the people living in the area. McRaes Hotel, unfortunately, was not spared. The once-grand building was destroyed, leaving only memories and stories of the past. This historical photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the transient nature of time and the importance of preserving the stories and memories of our past. It invites us to reflect on the resilience of the people who lived through the eruption and the role that McRaes Hotel played in their lives. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time, allowing us to appreciate the rich history and heritage of Wairoa, New Zealand.
