Church Of Christ, Hammond Road, Claremont
c. 1956The Church of Christ Congregation standing in front of the wooden church building.
The Church of Christ, a basic weatherboard building, was built in a day on the corner of Goldsworthy Road and Hammond Road, Claremont. A brick hall was added at the back of the church building in the 1920s.
The porch at the front was accessible from both sides and had wooden steps up to the double swing doors.
The inside of the chapel was not adorned in any way. There were jarrah pews and a platform from which ministers would speak. Under the platform was a tin baptistry used for full immersion baptisms.
At the rear were swing doors opening into a hall used for social activities, kindergarten work, Sunday School, weddings, functions and anniversaries.
The congregation was a large one in the early years with around sixty adults and between 120-150 children attended the Sunday school.
Due to falling numbers in the 1950s, the congregation amalgamated with the Church of Christ in Nedlands.
In 1961 the church was sold and a new one built in Dalkeith Road, Nedlands, to create a more viable congregation.
