This collection of caches has nothing to do with the Church Micro series in the UK. Given that the Australian 2016 census indicates that No Religion and Jedi Knight are the fastest increasing classifications of the optional religion question "What is the person's religion?" it is not surprising that there is surfeit of empty churches and support buildings that have been repurposed.

The Hindmarsh Christian Church is significant as a rare example of a non-denominational Christian chapel. It represents 150 years of a congregation with links to the first decade of life in one of the State's first settlements, subdivided by the Colony's first Governor. Only three (counting the original c1845 Hindmarsh chapel) other such churches are known to survive in the metropolitan area and none are still fitted out as churches. The link with the original Chapel across Hindmarsh Place only serves to heighten the significance of this complex and its associations with the founding of Hindmarsh Village. The congregation of this Church traced its roots to a small band of Christians who erected a non-denominational Christian Chapel (registered place 13693) fronting Lindsay Circus (site of the soccer stadium) c1845. In 1876 the congregation moved across the street to a new church on the present site. A substantial separate lecture hall and 10 Sunday School classrooms were built in 1882, and in 1903 a new (the present) brick and stone church was erected to replace the 1876 one.
Christian Chapel (later in 1933 became Church of Christ) on Robert Street (now Osmond Street) Hindmarsh. Located on the south west side of the street about 20 yards south east of Mary Street. The chapel was erected in 1855 and in 1894 a porch was added to the front. This matched the stone and quoins of the original chapel. On the extreme left was theSunday School which was erected before the church and belonged to Thomas Magarey. Thomas Magarey endowed chapels in Hindmarsh (1854) and in Grote Street (1856). He was a miller and sheep pastoralist who also was a member of both Upper and Lower Houses. He advocated the teaching of the Bible in public schools.
The aging congregation reluctantly closed the church in 1996.
The current building use is largely unknown, but there is a suggestion that it is the Hindmarsh Folk Museum. Any information in your logs would be appreciated.
