This beautiful building opened in 1869. It was on the Albert Rd (not street)junction with St John's Avenue.
Did it manage to reach it's century? and did any viewers to this Forum attend there?
I'm not sure what year it was demolished but if it had been built in any other town maybe it would be still standing as something else.

I always do research before I put photos on the board.
That drawing is St John's Weslyan Methodist Chapel and exactly where I said it was. I remember it aswell.
St Kilda's Church was Presbyterian & it was in Wear St.

Here is a St Kilda's drawing for those that cant remember it. When it closed, I think Reavley's moved in.

St Kilda's congregation moved to the Ellison Street church around 1928. Reavelys moved in and were there till the early 1960s.
