Paddington, St John's Presbyterian Church

The former St John's Presbyterian Church is located along Oxford Street, in the inner city suburb of Paddington. This heritage listed building was designed by Henry Robertson and built in 1857 in the Victorian Picturesque Gothic architectural style. In 2015, it was converted into a high-end fashion boutique.

    A very different use for the building, but it looks like they respected the architecture in converting it over.

    Beautiful golden sandstone was a fashion statement for any prestigious building!

    Pretty facade and I'm glad it was saved, albeit for a different use.

    A substantial building that no doubt casts substantial shadows.

    Looks like the whole building was revived at the same time

    It looks very nice. Is that limestone?

      Linda, it's sandstone which is quite common around Sydney.
