St John the Baptist Church, Christchurch
St John the Baptist Church, Christchurch, Anglican church in Latimer Square, Christchurch, New Zealand
The stone structure at 234 Hereford Street exhibited architectural elements characteristic of 19th-century ecclesiastical buildings in New Zealand.
Benjamin Mountfort and Maxwell Bury designed the church, which opened its doors on June 24, 1864, and received consecration on December 27, 1865.
The church functioned as a central gathering point for Anglican worship and community events until the devastating earthquake of February 2011.
The congregation now meets under the name Latimer Church in St Albans following the building's closure and subsequent demolition after the 2011 earthquake.
The site now houses the Transitional Cathedral, constructed from cardboard and designed by architect Shigeru Ban as a temporary replacement structure.
