Known as the Buitenkant Congregational Church. Ascribed to William Henry KÖHLER but Radford (1979:121) suggests that Peter PENKETH adapted the plans. Visible on the Millard panorama c.1859 and the Budricks panoramas c.1900. Demolished and replaced with an E Sacks, Futeran & Co Merchants warehouse building probably c.1910. Still same when inspected by Rennie in 1978. When the church was demolished, the pews were moved to the Congregational Church in Claremont. The adjoining Congregational Church Hall in Caledon Street later became the Fugard Theatre. References: Radford, D. 1979. The architecture of the Western Cape, 1838-1901.
