This English Gothic Revival style church, constructed of Basalt stone with Oamaru stone decorative detailing was built in 1894 and stands tall on a hill in the centre of Auckland. It is the longest established church in the city. The original architect’s ambitious design was never fully realised due to lack of funds.

Dr. Phillip Hartley receives Doctorate Award from the University of Auckland: “Thoroughly Modern Heritage”
Phillip's thesis looked at ‘how the study of material type and use, forms of construction, and spatial planning for buildings between 1940-1970 can inform established conservation philosophy and practice, for the preservation of Modernist Architecture in New Zealand'. When Phillip commenced his studies in 2011, his was the first PhD undertaken in New Zealand on the conservation of built heritage.
Since 2016, Phillip has taught the Materials Conservation course at the School of Architecture and Planning, as part of the Masters Degree in Heritage Conservation. Salmond Reed continues to support students by offering short-term internships to gain practical experience. To date, five students have been sponsored.
