Church of the Epiphany

As the St. Paul’s congregation grew, this church was constructed. The congregation moved to this new St. Paul’s in December 1879. Some of the congregation was displeased and wanted to return to the “Old St. Paul’s" church, which re-opened in May 1882. The building has a First World War rose window memorial that was installed in 1932.
