The ANZ Bank Chambers is Edwardian in design and was built in 1915. The chambers' style matches the neighbouring ANZ Bank building, built in 1905. It was One of Christchurch's most iconic copper domes, located on the corner of High Streets and Lichfields Streets.

It is believed the bank had plans drawn up for the chambers but the elderly owner of the house on the corner refused to move. The plans were put aside until his death. When he died they bowled his house and built the ANZ
Chambers.

The heavy dome came crashing down in the February 22 quake and the police are investigating whether the dome was stolen to be sold for scrap metal. Copper sells for $7.50 a kg.
