In 1892 the building of the first St. Stephen s Church at Adamstown commenced. The church had been designed by architect Frederick Menkens......An epoch in the history of the Church of England, at Adamstown, occurred yesterday afternoon, the occasion being the laying of the foundation stone of St. Stephen s Church. Hitherto divine service had been conducted in the Carrington Hall, a commodious building and one that has answered its purpose very well, but the number of members has for some time been sufficiently large to warrant the erection of a church, and a good deal of zeal has been displayed in securing the funds necessary for the commencement of the work. When the Commonage allotments were sold, about two years ago, a very eligible piece of land was purchased as a site, and the members have the satisfaction of knowing that their new church will occupy the finest position in the municipality. The land has a frontage of 60 ft to Brunker road and it extends back to Narara street; and is, therefore of considerable depth. It is bounded on the south by a piece of land that has been set apart as the site of the proposed new post and telegraph office and it is bounded on the north by a 20 ft lane. The allotment is on the crest of a hill and commands a very fine view of the city, Harbour, and surrounds. The foundations and framing of the church have been completed and the remaining portion of the work will be done within a very short time. The edifice will rest on brick piers built in cement with an average elevation of 3ft from the ground. It will be constructed of rusticated weatherboarding, with an inside lining of 4in by ¾ in jointed kauri boards. Its dimensions are 57 ft by 29 ft., and it is of the Gothic Style of architecture with a hexagonal termination at the eastern end. The flooring is raised for some little distance on that side to form the chancel and choir stand. The roofing will be composed of galvanised iron, and will be supported by handsome framed principals and half principals. When completed the building will cost 500 pounds. Mr. F. B. Menkens if the architect, and Mr. Dyson is the contractor. A new brick church was constructed in 1954

Details:
The opening and dedication of this church took place on Sunday, November 22nd, 1863. It occupied a very prominent site on the heights of Newcastle and could be seen for miles, but it also had its disadvantages. It was exposed to all gales and tempests, and on a wild night the wind used to roar against the edifice to an alarming extent. The gale of November, 1867, badly damaged the chapel, and in the Dandenong gale of September, 1876, the roof was blown off and other damage done.

Wesleyan Church-This building, which is situated in a very exposed position: in Tyrrel-street, is remarkable for the abrupt attitude of its roof, which is pitched at a very acute angle, and is a conspicuous land-mark, The northern side of the roof of this Church has parted from end to end, right across the centre. At three o clock yesterday afternoon the separated portions were each undulating wave-like, and could be seen at a considerable distance rising and falling with each gust of wind, as if the next blow would hurl each half of the roof into the street below.
