This is one of the oldest buildings in Napier. Built in 1869. Originally it was a classroom for a school. You can see a photo of it back then on this link. It moved to its present site in 1919. I went there for Christmas service a few years back and imagined what it would have been like with people walking or travelling by horse and cart to attend back then. It was dedicated as a memorial to Alexander Ormond who was a member of a notable Hawkes Bay settler family. He died in World War One.
It is quite pretty.
