Private Residence

The sign (just out of shot to the left) is clear that this is a Private Residence. Dating from 1883, this building was clearly built as a church, but as Australia has become an increasingly secular nation there now are many such former churches.

Happy Fence Friday, everyone, have a great weekend.

A very interesting development. Also here in the EU - I have read several times - church buildings are privatized... (I'm not surprised...)

A great building but a shame that it is no long being used as it was meant to be. We have many old churches now used as private dwelling too. Well done.

HFF, enjoy the weekend. Herb

Great architectural shot with beautiful frame!

The power and influence of the church are visibly dwindling worldwide - and not without reason. And I agree with Roger. It is better they are lived in...

HFF, and have a great weekend, George!

Many chapels are now private homes here George and many of the larges churches have other used, some educational and many are art galleries with cafes!
