Saint Thomas Preservation Hall

Saint Thomas Preservation Hall is a historic former Catholic church and Gothic revival style building located in downtown Wilmington, North Carolina.

Wood, St Thomas the Apostle served a small but growing parish of Catholics in New Hanover County.

The church's construction and parish was overlooked by Father Thomas Murphy.

Christopher Dennen, an Irish priest, convinced the parish to keep the church as a place of congregation for the Black Catholics in the area.

The church formally deconsecrated in 1979, and in 1982 the Saint Thomas Historical Trust became the official owner of the title.
