Durham Street Methodist Church

Christchurch City, New Zealand

The Durham Street Methodist Church was a former heritage-listed Methodist church located in Christchurch, New Zealand. Built in 1864 in the Gothic Revival style, it was, prior to its destruction, the earliest stone church constructed in the Canterbury region. The church was severely damaged by an earthquake on 4 September 2010, but collapsed during a following earthquake on 22 February 2011, killing three workers who were removing the organ. Prior to its demolition, the church was, in 1985, registered as a "Historic Place – Category I" by Heritage New Zealand. The heritage registration was lifted in 2011 and the ruins of the church were destroyed.
