Bourke Street Congregational Church and School, Heritage church building in Surry Hills, Sydney, Australia.
The Bourke Street Congregational Church features a grand Victorian architectural design with a prominent stone facade and traditional church elements completed in 1880.
Originally established in 1855 with a temporary iron structure, the permanent church building was constructed under the design guidance of William Boles.
Between 1932 and 1935, the church served 20,000 meals to unemployed men in its school hall during the Great Depression period.
The building now functions as St Sophia Greek Orthodox Church at 411a Bourke Street, offering regular religious services to the local community.
The original pipe organ from 1888 was relocated to Galston Uniting Church during the 1980s when the Greek Orthodox community acquired the building.
