Churches

Was the historic former St Gabriel's Catholic Church built as a Catholic church, or was it originally Methodist?

I was seeking to find a better reference for the text "Several old sandstone buildings remain, including the stone masonry church opened in 1924 by John H.P. Moyses." The Methodist church appears to have started construction in 1924, a call for tenders in August closed in September 1924[1] and Moyses laid its foundation stone in December 1924, not opened the building.([2] linked from [3], also [4]).

Firstly, definitely not the same place: contrast this image from the mysterious church ad with this image of St Gabriel's on Flickr, which seems to date to 1883.

This page seems to provide the explanation:

"Catholic church opened 1883 – the most attractive ever erected in the district was designed by Thomas Burgoyne of Port Augusta. The Wesleyan Methodist community built a weatherboard and iron, the Wesleyan church was used from 1884 till 1925 when it was replaced by a stone church still in use in the 1980s. The Anglican Church built in 1894 of stone, served till 1958. Is now a private residence."

In that case, I think we can probably assume the church in the ad is the 1925 Methodist church, and it'd probably be good if that went into the article in some form to explain the confusion, since the Heritage Register doesn't give an exact address and the ads for the Methodist church don't give a denomination.

Agreed.

I got side-tracked tonight - one of the references above had an article about my great-great grandmother on the same page (!), with info I didn't have anywhere yet (and some conflicting dates), so I've been feeding Ancestry.com instead of Wikipedia, and fact-checking those dates too. --Scott Davis ^Talk 12:37, 12 February 2016 (UTC)
