Pearse Lyons Distillery
St.James Church was opened in 1859 to the design of Joseph Welland, architect to the Select Vestry. It was deconsecrated in 1960s and was in use as a cash and carry and laterally a Lighting Showrooms.
The interiors were converted with little regard to its original grandeur and the Church Spire was removed in the 1940s as it was in a dangerous condition. Alltech acquired the church and an adjacent building on James St. They are restoring the church, the Spire and converting the building to a visitor centre and Distillery. TOTP Architects were awarded The Best Exterior Project at the Architecture & Building Expo 2017 for St James' Church.
