Hunter Baillie Memorial Presbyterian Church
- Hunter Baillie Memorial Presbyterian Church
The Hunter Baillie Memorial Presbyterian Church is situated in the inner western Sydney suburb of Annandale. It is an example of Gothic revival architecture and is on the National Estate.
The church was erected between 1886 and 1889 by Mrs Helen Mackie Baillie as a memorial to her late husband, John Hunter Baillie (1818-1854). Its sandstone spire reaches a height of 56m (182 ft) and was the tallest church spire in New South Wales for over 100 years, until the 70m twin spires of Sydney's St Mary's Cathedral were completed in 2000.
The church was designed by Cyril and Arthur Blacket, sons of the architect Edmund Blacket. Its interior features massive pillars of Aberdeen granite with Melbourne bluestone bases and capitals. The baptismal font and pulpit are carved from New Zealand Oamaru stone and green marble.
The church houses a large 19th Century organ by William Hill & Son of London.
