St Michael's Anglican Church, Surry Hills, Anglican church in Surry Hills, Australia
St. Michael's Anglican Church is a sandstone church building in Surry Hills featuring a slate roof, belfry, and Gothic Revival design elements. The interior contains a nave with side aisles and features a decorated ceiling.
The building was designed in 1854 by architect Edmund Blacket and later expanded in 1917 when the chancel and vestries were rebuilt. These modifications shaped the church's current form.
The church serves as a gathering place for the local Anglican community, where people come together for worship and community events. It reflects the spiritual life and social connections of the neighborhood.
The church is located at the intersection of Flinders and Albion Streets in an accessible spot within the neighborhood. Recent interior renovations completed in 2022 have refreshed the spaces for visitors.
The building houses a rare 1865 pipe organ made by the London builder J.W. Walker. The instrument with its five speaking stops is no longer playable but remains a notable historical artifact.
