An image of St. Alban's Church, Highgate, Western Australia being used by the community at the Beaufort Street Festival.
St Alban’s is a small limestone parish church located in Highgate, Western Australia. Built in 1889 (with enlargements in 1898) in a Victorian Romanesque style, it is one of the earliest buildings designed by well-known WA architect Sir J. J. Talbot-Hobbs (1864-1938).
Its characteristically romanesque features include the semi-circular arches, the traditional load-bearing masonry of the buttresses and solid walling, and the small window and door openings in relation to the overall wall area. The window of the nave contains stained three stained glass images of St Alban, St George and St Michael. The latter two were originally purchased for St George’s Cathedral, but upon arrival were discovered to be the wrong shape and were donated to St Alban’s. Other windows depict St Luke, Christ and the Disciples and The Virgin Mary and Child. A bell was also donated by St George’s Cathedral.

A view of Beehive Corner at the Western end of Rundle Mall in Adelaide, South Australia. This historic corner site was originally owned by John Rundle and has been known as ‘Beehive Corner’ since the 1840s. The Federation Gothic style building pictured here is the second building to stand on the site, replacing an older, plainer building erected in 1849. The present building was constructed between 1894 and 1896, most probably by architects English & Soward. It provides a rare example where neo-gothic architecture was used for a commercial building. Its characteristic gothic features include the lancet-arched windows with quatrefoil insets, the banded brickwork, the corbel effect, the pinnacles and the tourelle (or turret) bearing the name ‘Beehive Corner’ in gold lettering. Original features and details that had been stripped away during the twentieth century were restored in 1998.

A view of the neo-romanesque apse at Christ Church, North Adelaide. An apse is an octagonal or semi-circular domed recess that protrudes from the Eastern wall of a church. They were popular additions to transepts in medieval Romanesque architecture. The apse at Christ Church was added in 1851. It is constructed from limestone and red brick with a sandstone trim around the windows.
About Christ Church:
Christ Church is an Anglican church located in North Adelaide. The foundation stone was laid by Augustus Short, the Bishop of Adelaide, in 1848 and the church, which originally consisted of only the choir and the transept, was consecrated the following year in 1849. It was later extended in 1851 (the apse), 1855 and 1884. Bishop Short had arrived from England with three different building plans, but the Anglo-Norman design of the resulting church has been credited to local architect Henry Stuckey. The building’s Victorian Romanesque features include the relatively small window openings compared to the wall area, the machiolation motif and the semi-circular rounded arches.
