Modern Marvels Monday: Calvary Hospital Chapel

Adelaide is renowned for a cityscape that champions the past as much as it embraces the future and proudly boasts a diverse range of 20th Century architecture, including examples of Inter-War, Modernist, and Brutalist styles. Buildings from this period celebrate both the city’s growth and architectural innovation.

Today we feature another modern marvel, the State Heritage listed Calvary Hospital Chapel located on Barnard Street, North Adelaide.

Built in 1938-1939, the chapel was designed by Louis Laybourne Smith, an influential architect and educator and partner in the architectural practice Woods, Bagot, Laybourne-Smith & Irwin.
The chapel was built for the nursing sisters of Calvary Hospital, the Sisters of the Little Company of Mary. The Sisters established their only South Australian institution at North Adelaide Private Hospital in 1900, which was renamed Calvary Hospital in 1929. The chapel reflects the significant contribution of the Catholic religious congregation to the development of private healthcare in South Australia. Founded in England in 1877 by Mary Potter, the Sisters were dedicated to caring for the poor, the sick and the dying.

Architecturally, the chapel is an outstanding example of the Inter-War Romanesque style, with influences reminiscent of a basilica of the Byzantine period. Its warm, restrained red brick exterior is characterised by picturesque asymmetrical massing, a Marseilles-tiled roof, round-headed arches, and distinctive machicolation motifs within the gables. These robust yet restrained forms create a sense of permanence and dignity while reflecting the revival of medieval architectural traditions during the Inter-War period and giving the chapel a distinctive presence within the hospital precinct.
Behind the understated exterior, the chapel’s interior is richly detailed, featuring Corinthian and Doric columns, a coffered ceiling, a gallery, and numerous statues. A distinctive circular brick apse surrounding the altar further reinforces the building’s Romanesque character and provides a striking focal point within the intimate devotional space.

Flashback Friday: Old Parliament House

Constructed in stages between 1843 and 1875, Old Parliament House is of major historical significance at both state and national levels as one of the earliest surviving parliamentary buildings in Australia still in civic use.

The complex incorporates part of the original 1843 Council Chamber, the first permanent home of South Australia’s Legislative Council.

For almost a century, until the completion of the current Parliament House in 1939, the building served as the centre of parliamentary debate and legislative reform in South Australia.

Architecturally, the building reflects more than three decades of growth, combining early Georgian influences with later Victorian additions. It incorporates the work of three notable colonial architects: Edward Angus Hamilton, William Bennett Hays and Edward John Woods.

Old Parliament House is closely associated with key democratic reforms, including the introduction of the secret ballot and advances in women’s political rights.

In 1894, South Australia became the first Australian colony to grant women both the right to vote and the right to stand for Parliament, placing the colony at the forefront of electoral reform internationally.
