Place: King-street, Newcastle
Source: Newcastle Morning Herald 24 December 1903
Details: The land in King-street this was built on was known as allotment 177, King Street and was part of land sold by the A. A. Company and purchased by William Croasdill in 1853. In 1902 the Central Methodist Mission bought its allotment for £1750 The Newcastle Morning Herald reported in 1903 – The new and commodious Central Mission Hall in King-street, is now being fitted up internally, and elaborate arrangements are being made for the formal opening services, which will take place on the 24th January and following days. The building which is capable of seating over 1200 people is one of the finest structures of its kind in Australia. Including the purchase of land and the furnishing, the Methodist Union in Newcastle has taken upon itself liabilities totalling over 10,000 pounds. But the building is so substantially constructed that it should practically for ever, be available for the many hundreds of people who, in a city like this, are not reached by the churches. The work of construction has been carried out by Messrs. T. and W. Cowan, whose original contract price was just on 7000 pounds. The contractors work has been carried out in a complete and thorough manner and to the entire satisfaction of the architects Messrs Pender and Silk of West Maitland who succeeded to the supervision when the original architects retired (Chater and Chater). The building has an imposing and substantial interior, and the internal appearance is just as neat as it is commodious the artistic work being carried out under the supervision of Mr. S. Kinder. The area of land upon which the hall stands is 130ft deep with a frontage of 113 ft to King-street, and the buildings cover the entire area, with the exception of a width which has been left as a separate entrance to the gymnasium, and to the passage ways leading to the first and second floors. The building is right up to the footpath. Above the large iron gates approached by ironite steps, it is proposed to put fancy ironwork. The front work of the building is tuck pointed, and comprises double pressed Sydney red bricks with dark stringers all the way up, and cement dressings, the whole presenting a handsome appearance. On each side of the two central openings, to be filled with wrought iron gates, are smaller openings fitted with heavy cedar doors. The central openings lead to the piazza and the side entrances to the staircase halls. Two large openings lead from the piazza into the main hall which is 59 ft wife and 71 ft long with a height of 26ft on the side walls and 37ft in the centre, the ceiling being elliptical in form, panelled out, and enriched with fibrous plastering. The acoustics have been well considered, the hall being particularly well adapted for speaking and singing. At the end of the main hall a large platform 18 x 36 ft has been provided at the back of which is the organ floor…….
