Introduction

Albert Street Uniting Church at 319 Albert Street in Brisbane's CBD is a brick church built in 1889 in the Victorian Gothic Revival style, from a design by G.H.M. Addison that won an 1880s competition prompted by the congregation's rapid growth. Originally the Albert Street Methodist Church, it took its present name in 1977 when the Methodist, Congregational and Presbyterian churches united to form the Uniting Church in Australia. The church preserves a contemporary pipe organ and century-old stained glass windows, offering a quiet historic corner in the noisy city centre and serving as a much-loved wedding venue.
