Description
**ACHIEVED SHARED 3RD PLACE IN FAA CONTEST - "Old and New" March 2019.
Located within Sydney's political, financial, business and medical district in Macquarie Street, St Stephen's is the Uniting Church's flagship for intelligent, traditional Christian worship.
St Stephen's Uniting Church was the leading church of Presbyterianism in Australia for well over a century until it became part of the Uniting Church of Australia just over 30 years ago.
The present building established in 1935, is the third church as their previous one in Philip St was torn down by the Government of the day to extend Martin Place up to Macquarie St. Their first building from 1901 to 1935 was on the site of the present library next door to Parliament House.
The current church located on Macquarie Street has just been given heritage status by the National Trust this year and is the main "Uniting Church" in the CBD. It is also the only remaining example of its particular architectural style left in the city.

Thank you for the kind comment and v/f, Tim. I agree with what you say. There is certainly not a lot of architecture like this in Sydney.
Tim Allen
Beautiful composition, Kaye. Love that style of architecture. Also love the juxtaposition of the two dramatically different eras. Great to see it has heritage status. That style of architecture is quickly disappearing everywhere including here in Seattle and we all need to help preserve such wonderful craftsmanship where ever it may be. f/v
