Former American River Methodist Church |
| Registered Name |
Former American River Methodist Church |
| Significance |
The former American River Methodist Church, built in 1965-1966, is an outstanding example of late twentieth-century ecclesiastical Modern Movement architecture in South Australia. Drawing on vernacular traditions while remaining architecturally minimalist, South Australian architect Eric von Schramek's innovative and economical design employed a distinctive splayed pyramidal roof to set the building apart as a place of worship, while the selection of familiar, domestic materials and construction systems grounded the church into its local context. |
