Antonio Hall (house)
Residential home in Christchurch, New Zealand / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Antonio Hall, also known as Antonio House and previously Kilmead and Campion Hall, is an historic mansion in the Christchurch suburb of Riccarton. Although protected as a Category II heritage building by Heritage New Zealand, it has been left to fall into ruin. A large property with 279 rooms and once described as "one of the finest in Christchurch and vicinity", it was for three decades used as a Catholic seminary. After a major fire in July 2019, Antonio Hall was then almost completely destroyed by another fire on 5 November 2021.[1]
