Designed by architect Andrew Heiton of Perth, Scotland, it is a decorated Gothic building, with a spire 180 feet (54.9 m) high. The church was erected in 1864.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over a century and a half this church gone through several name changes: Rutland Square Presbyterian, Abbey Presbyterian, and colloquially as \u2018Findlater\u2019s Church\u2019 (after the Dublin merchant who paid for the construction of the building); and through seismic shifts culturally, historically, socially and economically. Indeed the reconstituting and renaming of the congregation came as a direct result of the 1916 Easter Rising and its aftermath.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-1
