Légende

New Congregational Chapel at Hobart Town, [Tasmania], 1857. 'The chapel is intended for the use of the church and congregation under the pastorate of the Rev. G. Clarke. When completed it will be one of the handsomest edifices of the kind in Hobart Town. The design is by Messrs. Tiffin and Davidson, of Macquarie-street. The style is Early English...The building throughout will be of freestone, from the quarry at Risdon; and, as far as practicable, colonial material alone is to be used in its construction. It is expected that the edifice will be ready for the opening services about July next. The cost will be under £5000. The new chapel will contain no pews, but open benches (cedar) only, and will comprise sittings for about 700 persons'. From "Illustrated London News", 1857.
