Hundreds of people turned up to tour one of the world's largest timber homes on the weekend, only to find the gates closed.

Organisers were forced to make a last minute decision on Friday to cancel the open days at the 118-year-old, 53-room McLean's Mansion, in central Christchurch, when it was discovered the building was structurally unsafe and still subject to a Section 45 notice (red sticker).

It's not yet known how long it will take for the notice to be lifted, but if it could be lifted this week there is a chance the open days could still be held before scheduled work begins later this month. Otherwise the open days will be delayed until October.
