Building [Chapel of the Good Shepherd]
About this objectThe Chapel was formerly St Saviour's Church in Blockhouse Bay. It was completed in 1898 with money raised by the local community. This building features a steeply pitched corrugated iron roof with strong rafters placed in a triangular formation to support it. On top is the bell tower that is supported by a Celtic cross at each end. It is thought that the building once had a shingle roof. All the woodwork is heart kauri. The doors and windows have pointed arches following the 'Gothic Revival' style of the Victorian period. The windows above the altar are stained glass imported from England and features a Celtic Cross.
