Samuel Charles Farr (1827 – 14 July 1918) was a 19th-century builder and architect in Christchurch New Zealand. He intended to emigrate from England to Auckland but significant shipping problems saw him end up in Akaroa in 1850 instead. From 1862 he lived in Christchurch. Farr has a number of firsts against his name: the first marriage in Canterbury he designed Akaroa’s first church designed New Zealand’s first iron verandahs and he started Sunday schools in Canterbury.
