St Paul's Church, Adelaide

A. R. Russell, rector of St John's Anglican church in the south-east of the city, recognising that his church was located some distance from the centre of population in the north-east, began holding services in the Pulteney Street School at the intersection of Pulteney and Flinders streets.

[1] Edmund W. Wright was selected to design the structure,[a] in Early English Gothic style, and William Bundy the builder.

Notable parishioners included John Cox Bray, Henry Ayers and his family, Sir James Ferguson and Lady Edith Ferguson (who occasionally presided on the organ), Judge Cooper and Lady Cooper, Judge Boothby, Captain Watts (Postmaster-General) and O. K. Richardson (Under Secretary).

In 1989 the Moore Corporation applied to the Council for permission to demolish the structure but were refused on the grounds that, though not protected by statute, the proposed development would detract from the manse adjacent which was heritage-listed.

Though sponsored by the Church of England, it accepted pupils from all denominations,[10] and its fees were modest as compared with the Collegiate School.
