Reward for historic church reconstruction

摘要

Parsons Brinckerhoff Australia Pty Ltd (Adelaide) received a 2003 Engineering Excellence Award in Heritage by the SA Division of Engineers Australia for its contribution to the reconstruction of the St Andrews Church spire of Strathalbyn. The church is listed on the National Estate Register and the National Trust Register. The church began life in 1848 as a simple bluestone building, but within a few years the local community had added a transept, spire, porch and gallery. Next to come was the bell tower complete with spirelets, bell and clock. By 1895 the church was complete.
