Bericht aus dem Sydney Morning Herald vom 30. Januar 1882

The foundation-stone of the first German Evangelical Lutheran church to be erected in Sydney, was laid in North Goulburn Street on Saturday last by Mrs. R Krauel, wife of the German Consul-General. The building, part of is up, will be in accordance with designs prepared by Mr. T. Dixon Chater. It will cost about £2000 and accommodate 220 persons comfortable. In length it will be 45 feet, in breadth 25; and it will contain a chancel 13 feet by 9, and a small vestry. The walls will be of brick and cemented. Entrance to the building will be effected through a porch, which will be approached on either side of a flight of steps. Five windows on each side will light the building during the daytime, and gas in bracket and pendant lamps at night. The roof will be open timber work, and the seats and pulpit of varnished colonial pine, and sittings will also be provide for the choir. An iron railing will be placed in front of the building. In appearance the church will be rather plain, but it is likely to meet the requirements of the Lutheran body for some time to come, and it will certainly be an acquisition to the neighbourhood, much of which is  occupied with indifferent looking domiciles. Mr. B.Rhodes had undertaken the brickwork, and Mr John Stuart the finishing work.
