Scots Church
The Scots Church is a historic Presbyterian church located at 42-44 Margaret Street on the corner of York Street, in the Sydney central business district, in the City of Sydney local government area of New South Wales, Australia. It was designed by Rosenthal, Rutledge & Beattie and built by Beat Bros in 1929.
Cardinals Palace
As early as February 1859 a sixty acre site was excised from the Quarantine Ground for use by the Roman Catholic Church, and further land was added later. A condition of the grant was that it not be alienated or subdivided and should be used for religious or educational purposes only.
In December 1884 it was proposed that a Cardinal’s Palace be erected on the above land and Dr Moran commissioned architects Messrs Sheerin and Hennessy of Sydney to draw up the necessary plans. The successful tenderer for the erection and completion of the building was declared in January 1885 to be William Farley.
An intention to also erect a Roman Catholic Ecclesiastical Seminary on the same grant was announced in the Sydney Morning Herald of 6 June 1885, and the foundation stone for this building was laid on November 1885

Holy Trinity Church
The Holy Trinity Church, in Millers Point, was Sydney's first "Garrison Church", or Australia's first military church. The Church is situated on the corner of Argyle and Lower Fort streets, Millers Point.
The foundation stone for the Holy Trinity Church was laid in June 1840 with the first recorded service held in May 1844.
Two major oversights are associated with this church; the first relates to its construction - the foundation should have been laid facing North / South but was in fact laid East / West. This is considered a fortuitous oversight, however, as the renowned East Window catches the morning sun. The second is that the church was consecrated in 2000, 160 years after its founding.
Funds were raised in the late 1800's to build the church tower. The tower never eventuated so the funds were applied to roof repairs in 1938.
