Former Torrensville Uniting Church |
Registered Name |
Former Torrensville Uniting Church |
Significance |
The Torrensville Uniting Church is the earliest remaining concrete church built in South Australia, dating from a time when concrete was still a relatively novel product as a building material on a domestic scale. Although readily adopted as a building material for residences and engineering structures, the use of concrete in church construction appears to have been very rare in the early decades of the 20th century, with only three examples known to have been built.
