From the Church's webpage on their history:
The Church Of Our Lord building was completed in 1876.
The church itself was established on October 27, 1874 by Rev. Edward Cridge. In 1855 he was sent to this outpost of the colonies by the Church Missionary Society of England as Chaplain to the Hudson's Bay Company at Fort Victoria. Rev. Cridge later became Dean of Christ Church Cathedral, which he left to begin The Reformed Episcopal Church of Our Lord. The structure was designed by renowned personality, John Teague, who later became Mayor of Victoria. The building is in the Carpenter Gothic style, of board and batten construction, and was dedicated on Sunday, January 16, 1876.
