However, after the carillon was built, construction of the Hall of Memories was put on hold because of the economic depression of the 1930s, and then because of the Second World War.<\/p>\n<h3>New design<\/h3>\n<p>In 1955 the government hired Gummer and Ford to redesign a \u2018simple but dignified\u2019 building as a memorial for New Zealand\u2019s war dead. This was seen as increasingly important following the Second World War and the Korean War.<\/p>\n<h3>Construction and opening<\/h3>\n<p>The Hall of Memories was constructed by builders P. Graham &amp; Sons (who also built the carillon) for a total \u00a3113,800. Following several construction setbacks, it was finally unveiled by Governor-General Sir Bernard Fergusson and Prime Minister Keith Holyoake on 5 April 1964.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-btn-wrapper align_right\"><a class=\"w-btn us-btn-style_2 icon_atleft\" title=\"See more 360 Panos\" href=\"https:\/\/pano.nz\/panos\/\"><i class=\"fad fa-head-vr\"><\/i><span class=\"w-btn-label\">More Panos<\/span><\/a><\/div><div class=\"w-btn-wrapper align_right\"><a class=\"w-btn us-btn-style_2 icon_atleft\" title=\"See on Google Maps\" target=\" _blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/LJuwtb3WzZx\"><i class=\"far fa-google\"><\/i><span class=\"w-btn-label\">Google Maps<\/span><\/a><\/div><div class=\"w-separator size_small with_line width_default thick_1 style_solid color_border align_center\"><div class=\"w-separator-h\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"At the base of the National War Memorial, Carillon tower is the Hall of Memories, which serves as the commemorative chapel of the National War Memorial.
