More about the Church. Image from SLNSW CollectionsDr Jack Barton, the Outreach Manager Geospatial Research Innovation and Development at UNSW and his team are doing a 3D scan of the amazing facade of the former Methodist Church at 81 Johnston Street, Annandale. The facade has deteriorated significantly in recent years.
The carved sandstone was originally part of the Bull Warehouse in the city. The warehouse burnt down and the black marks can still be seen in the facade. The parts of the facade were transferred to Annandale and reused in the facade of the Church. More at Methodist (now Uniting) Church, 81 Johnston Street
Philip Drew has researched the history of the facade. See Eco-Annandale 2015, THE MYSTERY OF THOMAS WRAN'S ANNANDALE SCULPTURES and Thomas Vallance Wran : the Annandale sculptures 1873-74 / Philip Drew.
