The factory was closed but subsequently reopened several times finally ceasing production in 1959 as the Geraldine Co-operative Dairy Company.  The factory still stands today as a Heritage New Zealand (NZHPT) Category II Heritage Building on private land.
  St. Anne's Church, built in 1863, is the oldest church in South Canterbury and one of the oldest in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Christchurch.  The church which was constructed with local timber is listed as a NZHPT Category II Heritage Building, and includes a stained glass window made by Veronica Whall.  Church services are still held at the church and it celebrated its 150th anniversary in 2013.
