莊士敦道原為一條海旁馬路，1930年前的名稱為「海旁東」。曾有一座分域機器廠在此設立，故有一條分域街在教堂背後。
1930年，灣仔填海工程完成之後，新增了包括軒尼詩道以至告士打道等多條街道。同年，有千多座四層高樓宇在新填地上建成，並於1960年代陸續重建為新型大廈。
右方落成於1936年的教堂亦於1990年代中期重建。
Johnston Road and Hennessy Road, C.1962
Johnston Road was a harbour front road before 1930. Its early name was Praya East. There was a Fenwick Engineering Factory located behind the church, so Fenwick Street was named after it.
After the completion of the Wan Chai reclamation, numerous new roads and streets were constructed, including Hennessy Road and Gloucester Road. In the same year, over one thousand new houses of 4 storeys were built on the new reclaimed land, and they were then redeveloped to modern buildings from 1960s.
The church was completed in 1936, it was also rebuilt in mid-1990s. ■鄭寶鴻 香港歷史博物館榮譽顧問
