Matangi factory history

 Mātangi dairy factory closed a while ago...but now the buildings are being repurposed for commercial use and for living in...plus a few new units ..the quilting shop is in one of those..

The cafe had a book explaining it and here are a few pages....

...repurposing is trendy.

I love to see buildings preserved and repurposed.

Building new is not always best.
Preserving historic buildings and putting them to good use is ideal.

I really appreciate trying to save old buildings. This looks like a wonderful project.

It’s wonderful that buildings will be repurposed. And it’s always great when there is a new quilt shop

I love the plan to save this old buildings. I hope they can do it. Here, many times, these groups get the buildings for free...kind of. The property owners are prepared to tear them down for new construction, and a historical group steps in, offering to do a tear down with the idea of reassembling it somewhere else.
