Brougham Place Uniting Church is a Uniting church located at Brougham Place, North Adelaide, South Australia.
History
Edmund Wright won an architectural competition for the design of the church in 1859, then Brougham Place Congregational Church.[1] The foundation stone was laid on 15 May 1860.[2]
A tower was added in 1871 and a lecture hall in 1878, designed by architect Thomas Frost.[3] The pipe organ was built in 1881 at which time it was "the largest two manual organ in the colony", and restored in 1914.[4]
James Jefferis was the first pastor, serving from its inception on 20 October 1859,[5] when services were held in the temperance hall in Tynte Street, North Adelaide, to 1877, then from 1895 to 1901, when he retired.[6]
It looks over Brougham Gardens in the Adelaide Parklands.
