Photographs supplied by John Huth
The plaque commemorates the centenary of the fact that Reverend Matthew McGavin organised the congregation of the United Church of Scotland for worship in August 1863.
The congregation worshipped in Creek Street before it was persuaded to sell its land in 1885 to the Queensland National Bank for the sum of ₤18,750. As a result the congregation acquired the Spring Hill property, which had been the site of the first Children’s Hospital, for the relocation of the Church.
