Mowbraytown Presbyterian Church, Presbyterian church building in East Brisbane, Australia

Mowbraytown Presbyterian Church is a wooden church building in East Brisbane featuring steeply pitched gable roofs and twin gable transepts. The structure displays traditional ecclesiastical design with timber buttresses and leadlight windows.

The former church was erected in late 1885 on land donated by Williamina Mowbray, widow of Rev. Thomas Mowbray, who in 1851 helped establish Queensland's first Presbyterian church at Grey Street, South Brisbane. Designed by architect Alexander Brown Wilson and built by contractor Thomas Gillies for £600, it seated 230 people; the Scottish bell arrived in January 1886. Transepts were added in 1899 and 1909, and the church closed in December 1992, being sold in 1995.

The building contains a pipe organ from 1902 and wooden pews that reflect Presbyterian worship practices. These elements show how the congregation gathered and observed their faith traditions together.

The building is located at 22-28 Mowbray Terrace and now serves as commercial office space. Visitors should note that it functions as an active workplace, so exterior viewing is the main way to appreciate its heritage details.

The bell, sent from Scotland, was hung in January 1886, shortly after the first service on 22 November 1885. The leadlight windows at the front were donated by architect Alexander Brown Wilson, who designed the 1909 extensions and both halls.
