Christian Toxward

Christian Julius Toxward (1831–1891) was a New Zealand architect. He was born in Copenhagen, Denmark in 1831. He is buried at Bolton Street Memorial Park, and his grave is part of the memorial trail. Toxward designed over 200 buildings in the lower North Island from 1866 to his death.

Toxward's obituaries state he spent time in the Victorian goldfields before he arrived in New Zealand but the Royal Institute of British Architects state he worked as a draughtsman in Victoria before working in various locations in Europe. Toxward designed the first masonry buildings in Wellington in 1875 and this building was one of the earliest to use sprinklers.

In 1876 Toxward became the Wellington Education Board architect. In 1883 the New Zealand government had Toxward produce designs for dairy factories for a promotional booklet. Registered as a category 2 building with Heritage New Zealand. Only the facade remains

Original building was designed by Frederick Thatcher but Toxward designed two extensions adding a north and south transept.

Unknown architect, potentially Toxward. Registered as a category 1 building with Heritage New Zealand
