The present St Paul's is the third church to serve the Anglican congregations of Port Adelaide. Largely the result of the generosity of Samuel Tyzack, a local toolmaker, the present structure was erected in 1905. Of note are the stained glass windows of the Percy Bacon Brothers of London. The organ incorporates the earlier instrument of W.C. Mack of Great Yarmouth, England, imported in 1865. Enlarged by Fincham and Hobday in 1887 it was further modified in 1905, presumably with its relocation to the new church. The organ was restored in the mid-1980s by George Stephens of Adelaide. [1]
