Reid (postcode: 2612) is a suburb of Canberra, Australian Capital Territory, Australia. With a population of 1,583,〔 located directly next to Civic, Reid is one of the oldest suburbs in Canberra. Separating the suburbs of Reid and Campbell is Anzac Parade, a ceremonial boulevarde running along Canberra's primary design axis (the land axis) from Lake Burley Griffin to the Australian War Memorial. Located in Reid are the Canberra Institute of Technology and St John the Baptist Church, which is the oldest church in Canberra. ==History== The foundation stone of St John the Baptist Church was laid in 1841 and it was consecrated on 12 March 1845. It listed by the ACT Heritage Council.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=20019. St.John the Baptist Church and Churchyard (Entry to the ACT Heritage Register) )〕 Most of the suburb was constructed in 1926 and 1927 to provide housing for public servants in preparation for the opening of the provisional Parliament House in 1927. It was a housing precinct planned on Garden City principles and is now heritage-listed.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=20023. Reid Housing Precinct (Entry to the ACT Heritage Register) )〕 The Uniting Church (now the Canberra Korean Church) on Coranderrk Street was built in 1927 and is also heritage listed.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=20035. Uniting Church (Entry to the ACT Heritage Register) )〕 Reid was named in 1928 after Australia's fourth Prime Minister, Sir George Reid. It was previously considered to be part of Ainslie. The streets in Reid are named after aboriginal words.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Suburb Name search results )〕 The four-storey Bega flats (containing 114 two-bedroom flats) were completed east of Cooyong street and south of Ainslie in 1957 in order to cope with a critical lack of accommodation for public servants transferred to Canberra. The ACT Heritage Council described them as having been designed in the Post-War International style "similar to post-war housing in Europe, particularly in English new towns. The fine proportions, crisp detailing and low scale of (Allawah Court ) and their siting continuing the street pattern made them more architecturally successful than the three eight-storey blocks of flats along Currong Street" (nearby in Braddon). The Heritage Council declined to heritage list the buildings〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Heritage (Decision about Provisional Registration of Allawah and Bega Courts, Braddon and Reid) Notice 2010 )〕 and despite some local opposition it is proposed that they be demolished and replaced by more modern and denser accommodation along with some commercial uses. 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「Reid, Australian Capital Territory」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
