St Nicolas Anglican Church is located along Brook Street and Carr Street in the eastern suburb of Coogee. It was built in 1887 in the Gothic architectural style and reconstructed in 1906 after almost total destruction by fire on 18 August 1905.
The former St Paul’s Anglican Church is located on the corner of Newcaslte Street and Old South Head Road in teh eastern suburb of Rose Bay. It was built in 1918 and later became the church hall when a new church was built next door in 1929. Both are now deconsecrated and the hall is currently being used as a pre-school. While researching the history of these buildings, I discovered that the church, the parish hall and two neighbouring houses are due to be demolished soon to make way for residential flats and a new childcare centre.
