What secrets does this unassuming building hold? Right here in McLennan Street stands the Seventh Day Adventist Church. Don’t let its modest appearance fool you. This church, built in 1939, replaced an even older structure that had been brought all the way from Murgon. The Seventh Day Adventist Church boasts a unique architectural style for its time: Art Deco. While most churches during the interwar period stuck to tradition, this one embraced the modern trends, a rarity in Brisbane. Imagine the excitement of its opening on June 11th, 1939, just as the world stood on the brink of World War II. The church’s construction, completed by Mr. C. Retschlag for £1,200, was a testament to the community’s dedication, with members contributing to its cost. Interestingly, as a sign of the times, all Adventist churches in Australia were offered to the government for use during the war. The Seventh Day Adventist Church, a symbol of faith and resilience, has served its community for over eighty years. It stands as a testament to the enduring power of belief, even amidst global turmoil.
