| Description : |
Members of the Baptist Church first began meeting at Lefevre Terrace, North Adelaide, in 1850. The present church was built to the designs of James Cumming in 1870. The church is in the 'Venetian' style, and seating for 600 is arranged in a circular form around the front platform, rising in tiers to the back. A prominent member was Charles Willcox, owner of most of the tramway companies in the city at the end of the 19th century and reputedly the largest employer of men in Adelaide. The church, together with the hall and former manse, remain prominent Tynte Street landmarks. |
