Comments

The former Downside Presbyterian Church has closed, and the property has been sold (2017). The church had been part of the Presbytery of Southern Rivers and the Presbyterian Church in the State of New South Wales. The church building was opened and dedicated on 2/1/1938, with the Rev J B Rentoul conducting the opening service1. This building replaced an earlier structure erected in 1907, but demolished in 1937 to make way for the present building. No other details are known. More historical information/photographs of the church/congregation are invited. Photographs uploaded 23/5/2025.
