Davey Street Congregational Church

Davey Street Congregational Church is a former Congregational church located at 47 Davey Street, Hobart, Tasmania, Australia.
Overview
The foundation stone was laid by Henry Hopkins on 31 July 1856. Designed by Charles Tiffin and William Montgomery Davenport Davidson, the church was dedicated on Sunday, 16 August 1857.[1][2]
It closed in 1973 and the congregation merged with Memorial Congregational Church, which in 1977 became part of the Uniting Church in Australia.[3] Later that year the building was renovated and became home to Colony 47,[4] which stayed there until the Uniting Church sold the building in 2012.[5] In March 2022, the former church was again listed for sale.[6]
The first minister was George Clarke, who was there for 52 years, from 1857 to 1909.[7] Stafford Bird served as minister from 1874 to 1877, while Clarke traveled in England and Palestine. Later, Frederick Pratt served as minister from 1925 to 1928.[8]
