The Albert Street Uniting Church stands opposite King George Square on the corner of Ann and Albert Streets, and is described as "an excellent example of a Victorian Gothic Revival church, climatically adapted with side colonnades and front porch; and internally a good example of the major attributes of the Methodist tradition."
Completed in 1889, this church replaced the original Methodist church of Brisbane which was further down Albert Street towards the river. It was built using red brick, and it has a slate roof and quite an attractive spire. It has the traditional cruciform shape, and the interior contains a large pipe organ. This church is now very heavily booked for weddings, including many for overseas couples.
The church is also quite frequently photographed, and now that it is surrounded by tall office towers, it is a lovely contrast to those more modern buildings.
