North Pine Presbyterian Church is a heritage-listed church at Dayboro Road, Kurwongbah, Moreton Bay Region, Queensland, Australia. It was built from 1883 to 1884. It was added to the Queensland Heritage Register on 21 October 1992. == History == This small timber church was built in 1884 at 57 Old Daybro Road, Petrie and moved to its present site in 1985.〔 The Redcliffe Agricultural Reserve was opened up for agricultural selection in 1863 and Constance Spry, a local land speculator, purchased the site in December 1866 and sold the 40 acres (16.19 hectares) to William Townsend in February 1867. Ten years later Townsend subdivided the land and sub 1 of portion 32, 1 acre (0.4 hectares) was acquired by the Presbyterian Church.〔 During the 1870s-80s several churches were built in the district's villages, which have since been demolished, destroyed by fire or removed.〔 The North Pine presbyterian congregation was ministered to from Bald Hills until 1873 when it was constituted a separate congregation. The church at Petrie was built between 1883-84 by a local builder and land holder James Foreman for the sum of £142.〔 In 1911 the suburb of North Pine was renamed Petrie. At about this time, the front doors of the church were replaced with doors from Tom Petrie's home. During the Second World War the ceiling was inserted.〔 In 1985 the church was moved to land originally owned by Foreman. Many of the original pews are still used and the pulpit is a copy of the original. The church is one of several historic buildings in the North Pine Country Park Historical Village and is the oldest extant church in the district.〔 The North Pine Country Park was originally part of the Griffin's Whiteside Run. The land was selected by James Foreman in 1868 and his original dwelling is the residence of the current park caretaker. The land was subsequently purchased by the Hyde family and they continued to farm the land until it was acquired by the council in 1985.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「North Pine Presbyterian Church」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
