Comments
This former Landsborough Uniting Church building is now privately owned.
"The Landsborough Uniting Church was erected c1892 as the Landsborough Primitive Methodist Church. Primitive Methodist services commenced in the district in the 1870s. With the expansion of the township following the construction of the railway line in 1899, the congregation expanded and a small timber church was built on the corner of Myla Road and Old Gympie Road. The church became Landsborough Methodist Church in 1902 with the amalgamation of the Primitive Methodists and Wesleyan Methodists. In 1932 the church was moved from its site near the school to its present location...The church became the Lamdsborough Uniting Church in 1977...The Primitive Methodists emphasised simplicity and plainness in worship which is reflected in this building."
