Throwback Thursday
Former St Columba’s Church
In the late 19th century, the largest religious group in Strathfield was Church of England. To accommodate for population growth, the architectural firm of Sulman and Power were engaged to design a new church. St Columba’s was opened on Monday 12 March 1906, and later operated as the Inner West Baptist Church.
