St Thomas Church of England, Anglican church in Toowong, Australia
St Thomas Church is an Anglican house of worship on High Street with a steeply pitched gabled roof, two-tone brickwork, and slender pointed windows. Heavy timber trusses cross the interior ceiling, creating the structural backbone of the building.
Construction began in 1877 when a bishop laid the foundation stone, replacing an earlier wooden building from 1865. The structure expanded as the neighborhood grew, with major work done in the following decades to provide more space.
The congregation gathers here regularly, maintaining a local faith community that has been active for generations. Its presence has shaped the religious identity of the neighborhood since colonial times.
The site sits on a main street and is easy to reach on foot. Visitors should be aware that interior access may be limited during worship services.
The building contains stained glass windows crafted by a skilled artisan from England. Plaques on the walls tell the stories of neighborhood members throughout different periods of time.
