Main St, Upper Hutt, Jan. 1948; south side 2, Askew-Gospel Hall (R24)

Details

PhotographerLeo MorelDescriptionMain Street, Upper Hutt, south side, showing the Gospel Hall, a Brethren Church built c.1904 (another source specifies 1913), with signs saying 'The Saviour of the world, acquaint now thyself with Him and be at peace' and 'The Lord is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble, and He knoweth them that trust in Him.'

This is the old Gospel Hall, which was built in 1913, opposite Logan Street, and still standing in 1954. By mid-1955 a new Gospel Hall was in use; the old hall had burnt down.

Image also shows the western side wall of R.C.H. Askew & Co. Ltd. Wood and Coal Merchants premises, which were behind the Federated Farmers frontage in R25 (Item reference p2-389-717).

This image is identified as R24 in Vin Benge's oral history interview about the Leo Morel photos of Main Street.
