Feel the various classical ornate buildings along the street. The buildings on both sides of Queen Street are a major attraction. The Edwardian Baroque-style Auckland Dock Building, the 19th-century Greek Revival-style Bank of New Zealand Building, the British Gothic-style building Patrick's Cathedral, the British colonial-style Auckland City Hall, the colonial historical buildings and modern high-rise buildings complement each other, conflicting and harmonious.
