| The original part of St. Patrick's Church (10m x8m) was opened at 92 Alice iStreet n 1885. Fr. Capra was given the distinction of building it and builder was John Fry. The site was a pine scrub and a good deal of the cypress pine used in the church was cut on the site. In 1903 a 4 m extension was added and a choir loft built, and alterations made to the sanctuary. It served as a church till 1938 when St. Columba's Church was opened next to it. After new church built, served as parish hall. Sold in 1986, relocated and converted to a house. |
