Oldest stone building

edit

The online version of The Press article from 9 June 2012 Technology to save Trinity Church by Cate Broughton is now different to its print version (Technology to save oldest stone building, page A13). It says in the print version that the Trinity Church is "the oldest stone building in the South Island". It doesn't say that in the online version any longer, as the claim is not true. The Malthouse in Colombo Street is from 1867 and is thus older. Schwede66 21:13, 12 June 2012 (UTC)Reply

Naming

edit

This building was originally known as the Trinity Congregational Church. That would be its official name rather than a bar. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 153.111.226.103 (talkcontribs)

Which it why it say in the lead sentence that it was known as Trinity Congregational Church. Schwede66 02:01, 28 July 2023 (UTC)Reply

New occupant name again.

edit

The current business occupying the building is "The Church Brew Pub" https://www.churchpub.co.nz/

Renaming this page each time there is a new tenant doesn't seem right?

It is still referred to as "Trinity Church" e.g. here https://www.stuff.co.nz/the-press/news/91063606/saving-the-old-some-good-news-for-christchurch-heritage-buildings

Heritage New Zealand lists it as "Trinity Congregational Church (Former)" https://www.heritage.org.nz/list-details/306/Listing

Yes, unfortunately whoever made this page wasn't aware of the building's history. The name needs to be changed to Trinity Congregational Church. 153.111.220.252 (talk) 20:02, 20 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
That somebody, who apparently "wasn't aware of the building's history", wrote up the building's history. D'oh! Schwede66 06:59, 25 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
