Stage Two: The Building
The Story of the Building
The Anglican Church of St Andrew, Walkerville in South Australia, was one of the earliest churches built outside the parklands of Adelaide and was the first church to be built free of debt.
Since its consecration on 23 August 1848, the church has undergone three major additions, with the combined result that none of the original 1848 fabric now remains. Although different materials were used for each addition, the church's original Gothic revival style was maintained.
Adding to its early English Gothic appearance, St Andrew's Church has an outstanding collection of late-nineteenth and early-twenieth century stained-glass windows and a fine pipe organ.
Amount required: $400,000 for conservation work as detailed in the Conservation Management Plan prepared by McDougall & Vines, Conservation & Heritage Consultants; which is the primary guiding document for the conservation and ongoing management of St Andrew's Church to ensure that all future decisions are carried out with regards to its heritage significance.
The significance of the property in architectual, social and historical terms is well established.
