Christ Church, North Adelaide is an Anglican church on Acre 745 which lays between Jeffcott Street and 36-40 Palmer Place, Шаблон:SAcity, South Australia, Australia. The foundation stone was laid on 1 June 1848 by Augustus Short, the first Bishop of Adelaide; and the church was consecrated in 1849.[1] Christ Church was the pro-cathedral until 1877 when St Peter's Cathedral opened.

In 1850 a parsonage was built on the southern half of Acre 745. It became the deanery for Dean Marryat in 1887, then a rectory from 1906.[2]

In 1868 a site on Jeffcott Street opposite the church was purchased for a schoolroom.[2] The foundation stone was laid on 26 September.

The building

The church building is in the Romanesque Revival architectural style and was built under the direction of architects Henry Stuckey and William Weir. It is built of local limestone mined from Palmer Place, with slate roof tiles from Willunga.[3] In 1855 the nave was extended on the western side by some Шаблон:Convert.[4]

The church, rectory and hall are all heritage listed with the former two appearing on the South Australian Heritage Register and the latter appearing on a 'local' list maintained by the City of Adelaide.[5][6][7]

Organ

The church's first instrument was a harmonium, replaced in 1854 by the pipe organ from J. B. Graham's mansion Prospect House ("Graham's Castle"),[8] and opened by George Bennett,[9] one of his last performances.[10] The new acquisition was heavily criticised,[11] then refurbished and greatly enlarged the following year.[12] It still had faults: it was so badly affected by weather that in winter it took six kerosene lamps burning for an hour before it would play. A new organ was purchased from Augustus Gurm of London and the old one bought by organist James Shakespeare.[13][14] It was laterШаблон:When installed in the Norwood Baptist Church[15] where it served until replaced by J. E. Dodd in 1884.[16]
