The Scots Presbyterian Church Sydney is bounded by Margaret Street, York Street and Jamison Street. The original heritage listed, six storey building, built in 1929, was designed by Rosenthal, Rutledge and Beattie in the Inter War Gothic style. The high rise apartment building above was built in 2005 and was designed by Tonkin Zulaikha Greer.

Such an artistic building
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a familiar style of building i've seen in Auckland.
ReplyDeleteThat is a bit different.
ReplyDeleteIt's an interesting architectural mix.
ReplyDeleteThe bottom six storeys for the church looked perfectly designed for their era, location and purpose. But the high rise building plonked directly on top of the church was always going to be awful.
ReplyDeleteInteresting. I'm surprised they were allowed to build on top of something that old, a "heritage" no less.
ReplyDeleteThat's a nice building, I don't think I've noticed the tower when walking past it - isn't that funny!?! #SundayBest
ReplyDeleteIt does blend in but I do remember the building from before the apartments were built.
DeleteThat's clever, putting a new building over an old building.
ReplyDeleteSuch an impressive structure! Thanks for sharing and for linking up with #MySundaySnapshot.
ReplyDeleteWhat an incongruous mix... And an odd bedfellow for a church. Well, we can't stand in the way of progress. Next, they'll be converting the whole thing into a casino! Thanks for taking part in the "My Sunday Best" meme, Jim
