Administrative history
Rev. Dr. Samuel Prince (1883-1960) oversaw the organization of St. Paul's Hall into St. Paul's Hospital - a temporary Red Cross hospital for victims of the 1917 Halifax Explosion. Injured and homeless people were provided refuge in the church hall, which served as both hospital and dormitory. The nave of the church building was used as a makeshift morgue. The vestry was also used as a hospital. Bibliography: Emsley, Sarah Baxter. St. Paul's in the Grand Parade. Halifax: Formac, 1999. Harris, Reginald V.
