Brougham Place Uniting Church is a church on Brougham Place, North Adelaide, South Australia. It was formerly the North Adelaide Congregational Church.
Thomas Frost is attributed as the architect of the church [1] and the foundation stone was laid on 15 May 1860.[2] A tower was added in 1871 and a lecture hall in 1878. The pipe organ was built in 1881 at which time it was "the largest two manual organ in the colony", and restored in 1914.[3]
Rev. Dr. James Jefferis BA., LLB. was the first pastor, serving from 1859, when services were held in a hall in Tynte Street, North Adelaide, to 1877, then from 1895 to 1901, when he retired.
The church is a landmark and looks over Brougham Gardens in the Adelaide Parklands.
