From the Bluff Heritage Trail brochure:
"Built in 1886 on a small triangular section of land gifted by Mr S Sullivan, who also did most of the construction work. The outside is weatherboard and the interior timber walls and ceiling hand dressed, varnished tongue and grooved rimu from local sawmills. Windows and doors are gothic shape. After being built the church was used a classroom until Greenhills School was built in 1889. A room was added as a vestry and electricity installed around 1925. Decommissioning of the church took place on 11th March 2001. It has a Category 2 designation with the NZ Historic Places Trust."
This is the first stop on the Bluff Heritage Trail which was developed by the Bluff History Group. Brochures are available at the i-Site on Gala Street in Invercargill.
