St Davids Anglican Church, Allora

St Davids Anglican Church is an Anglican place of worship in Allora built in the Gothic Revival style with visible timber bracing, exposed framing, and cedar interior fittings. The building displays characteristic elements of this architectural tradition through its open structural framework and crafted finishes.

The original church built in 1868 was later replaced by a new structure designed by architect Francis Drummond Greville Stanley in 1887. The building was completed in 1901 and marked an important moment in the development of local religious infrastructure.

The church serves as a gathering place where parishioners come together for worship and observe Anglican traditions that have shaped community life. Visitors can sense how this building remains central to the spiritual identity of the local people.

The building sits on Church Street where it is easy to locate if you know the address. Visitors interested in viewing the interior should check ahead for service times or access arrangements.

The building employs a single-layer timber construction without double-wall cladding, an uncommon choice for church buildings in 19th-century Queensland. This approach with exposed structural elements creates an unusual interior appearance that few visitors notice or recognize.
