| Foundation Stone laid by Governor Lord Lamington. The building is erected in the Gothic style of architecture, and is 64 ft. long by 28 ft wide. It is built of pine with hardwood studs, and a galvanised iron roof covers the structure. The building stands back a short distance from the road and has two entrances, with a porch at each. Inside the church, between the two porches, stands the baptistry. The chancel is on a raised platform which, has to be ascended by several low steps. The lectern from, which the lessonsare read stands to the left while looking towards the altar. The organ is seen in a recess on the left-hand side, while the vestry adjoins it. The organ is one of Estey's and cost seventy-eight guineas. Four Rochester lamps are suspended to the cross bars at equal distances, and are said to give an excellent light. The bell was cast in Rockhampton by Messrs. Sidney Williams and Co., and while it was being tolled at the morning service it seemed to greatly interest the groups of Islanders who were standing round. The cost of the building was £384, and the seats which are made of pine added another £38. (MB 25 Jan 1897) |
