Details:
ALLOTMENT at corner of Evans and Teralba roads purchased for 70 pounds by the Presbyterians to build a church. DONALD McNaughten was at the head of a willing band of workers who supplied the labour for building the church free of cost. Architect T. J. Pepper presented them with plans of a church free of cost and concerts and bazaars raised enough money to begin. The building was described in 2000 - it is a rare example of a timber church with this level of architectural detail surviving in Newcastle. While the architectural detailing is particularly obvious on the exterior, the interior also retains its arched timber trusses, lining boards to the walls, and the ornate carved pulpit. All other internal furnishings, pews etc. have been removed. The attached hall at the rear appears to be an extension of an original small section that would have been a simple skillion roofed space only the width of the church (indicated by the change in the weatherboards across the rear facade, the different piers, and the absence of ceiling roses of timber dado panelling to the southern end of the space). While there are some other timber churches in Newcastle, most are masonry, timber being more typical of country areas. No other timber churches of a similar age are known, with St Thomas at Carrington and the former St Andrews church at Mayfield being c.1920s, and lacking the ornate carpentry that is such a distinctive feature of the Adamstown church. The building is also very much intact with no obvious modifications except the extension of the hall at the rear, and this does not appear to have caused any alterations to the actual church. Church was later demolished

Details:
The local Congregationalists used to hold services in what was known as the Long Room, then occupying a portion of the site on which Howard Smiths building in Watt Street now stands. At a later date the place of meeting was changed to the old Court House which stood on the site now occupied by the General Post Office. No record is available dealing with the actual building of the Brown Street Church, which was carried out probably about 1853. It seems to be common knowledge that two sites were offered by the Australian Agricultural Company to the little band of Congregationalists, then known as Independents - that which is now occupied by the Australia and New Zealand Bank at the corner of Hunter and Brown Streets, and that upon which the church now stands. Lest we of a later generation should fall into the error of questioning the wisdom of the choice made by the pioneers of Brown Street, it should be clearly understood that one hundred years ago the site which was rejected was not above flood level.

Correspondence – To the Minister and Churchwardens of Christ Church Cathedral at Newcastle – Gentlemen – I desire to bring under your notice the disgraceful conduct of certain parties as shown during service on last Sunay evening – conduct the more unbecoming, emanating as it did from those who, in the vanity of this life, wish to be known under the appellation of what is termed vulgarly speaking, Swells or Pure Merinos. Could not some plan be devised for the temporal punishment of these persons who visit Church only, it appears to me, to indulge in their shameful exhibitions of dumb show and laughter etc., I remember in olden times, in the mother country, the sexton of the Church administering a sound knock upon the head of any one misbehaving themselves with a rod he carried about for the purpose, Could such a course be adopted here, I have no doubt these individuals would conduct themselves with more propriety, and the shame attending the blow would to their sensitive natures be quite sufficient temporal punishment – Yours etc. - Pewholder

M. 46th Regt. on the 1st January 1817, and on the Christmas Day next following, the said Officer having assembled the people for Public Worship, read to them the Divine Service
