Ashgrove Methodist Church, Methodist church building in Ashgrove, Brisbane, Australia.
Ashgrove Methodist Church is a church building in Ashgrove, Brisbane, with a distinctive A-frame design and a colored glass cross above the entrance. The interior features maple wood furnishings, including custom-made pews and a pulpit.
The building was designed and opened in April 1962 by architect James Gibson from the firm Cross and Bain. Its creation marked a period when fresh approaches were shaping religious architecture.
The building shows how churches modernized mid-century by adopting contemporary materials and streamlined design. This shift reflects the architectural language that communities embraced during that period of change.
The building is located northwest of Brisbane's center and is accessible by public transport. Today it serves as office space, with the hall used by a dance school.
The property slopes from Ashgrove Avenue down to Devoy Street and features landscaped gardens with a brick wall along the street frontage. This arrangement creates a set-back appearance that feels removed from street level activity.
