Built in 1887 the Church serviced the congregation from Darlinghurst and Woolloomooloo until 1996. Arthur Stace was inspired here in 1930 to start chalking “Eternity” on the streets of Sydney.
Kane Constructions won a Lump Sum Tender to build a new theatre for the Darlinghurst Theatre Company with the City of Sydney as the client.
Access and storage were the obvious challenge on this inner city site.
Detailed construction included salvage, restoration of plaster features and leadlight windows. Extensive acoustic treatment and intricate metal panelling were features of the building detailing. The builder used a temporary truss to facilitate the steel installation. Archaeological investigation, waterproofing of the basement and restoration of the Baptismal Font were essential parts of the building process.
Careful detailing contributes to this well built project.
