AddBy: Ross Galbreath9th Aug 2015 2:45PMThat's Petone Methodist Church on the right. I remember the church looking much like that in the 1950s - it was originally built in 1883 but much altered and enlarged to this form in 1909, so the photo must have been taken after that. The parsonage (built 1908) and tennis court (1910) are across the road behind the fence and tree on the left. The church building is still there (but I 'm not sure whether it is still used as a church) but the parsonage has gone and there is a concrete block building (originally erected as the church hall in the 1950s) where the old tennis court was.
