Stuart Street, Dunedin

Upper Stuart Street climbs steeply from the Octagon, crossing Moray Place and continuing up to pass through the city's Town Belt and up to the suburb of Roslyn.

[1] These works, which were completed in 1954,[2] also required the demolition of Littlebourne House,[3] which had been gifted to the City by the children of the former Mayor, the late Sir John Roberts, in 1934.

Below this are the former buildings of the Otago Polytechnic (now located in the city's north end), including the King Edward Technical College.

In the block immediately above The Octagon are St. Paul's Anglican Cathedral and a distinctive series of historic terraced houses, now restaurants and boutique shops, which have a Category I Heritage New Zealand classification.

These buildings include the following (from northwest - Upper, to southeast - Lower): The Robert Burns Statue in The Octagon directly opposite the end of Upper Stuart Street, is also listed (Category I),[15] as is Dunedin Railway Station, which lies in Anzac Square opposite the end of Lower Stuart Street.
