Old Bishopsbourne Chapel is a heritage-listed chapel at 233 Milton Road, Milton, City of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. It was designed by Robin Dods and built from 1912 to 1912 by Hall & Myers. It is also known as St Francis' Theological College. It was added to the Queensland Heritage Register on 21 October 1992. == History == The stone chapel at Old Bishopsbourne (St Francis' Theological College) was erected in 1912, replacing an earlier timber building of exposed studs designed by diocesan architect Richard George Suter and constructed about 1870.〔 Archbishop Donaldson, arriving at Bishopsbourne in December 1904, recognised the need to replace the original chapel, which had fallen into disrepair.〔 In 1912 Donaldson commissioned diocesan architects Hall and Dods to design a chapel which would harmonise with the house and grounds. Robin Smith Dods produced the design, and the chapel was constructed under his supervision by builders Hall and Meyers. It was dedicated in 1912.〔 Dods practised in Brisbane from 1896 to 1916. With this chapel he displayed a mastery of materials and form, proving that simplicity of construction and design can be as powerful as more elaborate structures.〔 Since 1936 the chapel has been carefully maintained by generations of St Francis' Theological College students. A loft and restored pipe organ, which were donated from a neighbouring church, were installed at the western end of the chapel in 1971.〔 While Anglican schools in Queensland generally have a chapel, few would be as old as St Francis', and even less would be of local stone.〔 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「Old Bishopsbourne Chapel」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
