The former Government Buildings in Hokitika, also known as Seddon House, are on the West Coast of the South Island of New Zealand.

While tenders for the building were being considered, a public subscription in Hokitika raised funds for a statue of Richard Seddon.

Minister of Public Works William Hall-Jones requested that the Government Buildings be set back to allow the statue to be placed in front.

Campbell agreed that the building be set back 20 feet (6.1m), although he did this to allow shrubs to be planted in front, as he did not consider the setback sufficient for the statue.
