City Mission Chapel (Frederick Street Chapel)

The Primitive Methodist Church had been using the Wycliffe Chapel since 1858, but upon the arrival of a new minister was galvanised to build its own premises. Plan were by the mainland architect John Henry Willson (aka Wiltson). Six years later, Willson won the competition for the design of the Sydney Town Hall. The church was opened for worship on 10th August 1862.

Following an amalgamation of various strands of the Methodist Church in 1902, in 1943 the property was sold to City Mission. The mission had been established in 1854 by a group of Launceston’s citizens who had concern for the urban poor. Since 1943, it has consolidated its operations around this building.

It is now the City Mission's Max Bushby Centre.
