Description
DescriptionConstructing the new Congregational Church in East Street, which replaced the church in Brisbane Street that burnt down in 1953. The Sunday school building is in background. Sign reads 'These new church premises are being erected for the Central Congregational Church Ipswich'. The architect was Scorer & Scorer Brisbane and the builder was T.P. Turner, Ipswich. The Electrical installation was carried out by Hoey and Ploetz, East Street. Taking two years to complete, the new Congregational Church was consecrated in 1958. In 1977 the Methodist, Congregational and Presbyterian churches in Australia combined to form the Uniting Church in Australia. In the years since it has been a church, the building has been used as a funeral parlour and art gallery. As of 2014 it was vacant. The house in the background is Keiraville. It was built around 1886 and was owned by various members of the Cribb family before being sold to the Congregational Church in 1936 to be used as a manse. From 1983 it was used as the headquarters of the Nursing Service and since 1991 it has been used by Lifeline.
