- History:
- This building was originally erected as a hall for the Presbyterian Church. A building permit was issued on 7 May 1926 for a hall at 201 Carrington Street with an estimated cost of £464.00. The builder was the firm Girling(?) & Frewin and the architect's name on the plans appears to be N.L.Thompson. Alterations were carried out in 1968 and St Paul's Lutheran Church was opened and dedicated that year. In December 2006 it was purchased by the Orthodox Holy Metropolis of NZ of the Ecumenical Patriarchate, so it became New Plymouth's first Christian Orthodox Church dedicated to St Nicholas.
