| Description : |
The Congregational church was a form of dissenting Christianity which gave autonomy to local church congregations. Many English Congregationalists were attracted to South Australia for its vowed religious freedom, beginning with the Rev. Thomas Quinton Stow, who arrived in Adelaide in 1837. Under the Rev. Francis Cox an impressive Congregational Church was built in Hindmarsh Square in 1861 and opened in 1862, replacing an earlier building. The building was designed by George Abbott, with seating for 500 people. The church closed in 1926 and became the ABC building. It was demolished at the end of the 20th century. |
