Old Presbyterian Church.
The congregation of St Andrew’s. Lower Symonds Street, the mother church of Presbyterianism in Auckland, on Sunday observed the 91st birthday of their church. The actual anniversary fell last Wednesday, for it was on May 4, 1847, that a public meeting held in the old Auckland courthouse resolved to erect a Presbyterian Church and to seek a minister from the Free Church of Scotland. The present stone building was commenced the same year and opened on April 7, 1850. The tower and portico were added in 1882.
