St Thomas Church of England

St Thomas Church features a steeply pitched gabled roof, bi-chrome brickwork, lancet windows, and heavy internal timber trusses at 69 High Street.

The church construction began in 1877 with Bishop Hale laying the foundation stone, replacing an earlier timber structure from 1865 in the growing Toowong area.

The parish has maintained continuous religious services for over 120 years, representing the development of Anglican institutions throughout Queensland's colonial period.

The building underwent major expansions in 1886 with nave enlargement and in 1947 with the addition of a chancel and transepts to accommodate more worshippers.

The structure includes stained glass windows designed by William Bustard and contains memorial plaques documenting the history of local community members.
