628 Royal Avenue
St. Paul's Reformed Episcopal Church (1899)
Victorian Gothic StyleSt. Paul's Reformed Episcopal Church has occupied this site at Royal Avenue and Seventh Street since the 1880's. The present structure was built in 1899 as a replica of the church destroyed in the Great Fire of 1898. This Victorian Gothic style church was designed by architect C.H. Clow. The fir clapboard exterior has been stuccoed over but the facade retains decorative woodwork, arched windows with coloured glass panes, and original 1899 doors. The design features a corner tower, a front gable and steeply pitched roof. Henry Bloomfield and Sons designed and installed the stained glass altar windows in 1899. The church pews were hand carved by inmates of the B.C. Penitentiary.
