This building was erected in 1887 as a mission church of St John’s in an area deemed to be a spiritual 'no man's land'. At the time of the rebuilding of St John's (1887) in Halifax Street,
the Reverend Frederic Slaney Poole decided to put any superfluous materials and fittings to good use by erecting a mission church. He explained in 'A Pastoral Letter' to his parishioners in 1886 that it was only because of the 'circumstances of the colony' at the time that the Mission Church was re-erected from the old St John's Church. South Australia at this time was caught in a depression period which continued through almost to the end of the nineteenth
century.

It is a severely detailed Gothic building, well constructed of brick, with a bell tower which is a
noteworthy feature.
Environmentally this building is perhaps anachronistic in its present surrounds, being isolated from its historical context in an area of commercial uses. Built to serve a former poor, residential area, this building recalls the earlier residential nature and character of this part of the city.

Grindavík is a fishing town on the Reykjanes Peninsula in southwest Iceland. Founded around one of Iceland’s most productive fishing grounds, it developed into an important center for the country's fishing industry and maritime culture. In recent years, Grindavík has gained international attention due to volcanic activity on the Reykjanes Peninsula, which has significantly affected the town and surrounding area. Despite these challenges, Grindavík remains an important part of Iceland’s coastal heritage and a gateway to many of the peninsula’s volcanic and geothermal attractions.

Bushman Farm

The farm of the fifty-one year old Reverend Michael Bushman and his wife Amelia is about three miles south of Gettysburg on the east side of the Emmitsburg Pike. The original portions of the house date to 1808. It was deeded by Sophia Hammer to her daughter, Amelia, who included Michael in the will when they married in 1834. The Reverend Bushman was nationally known as a minister in the German Baptist Brethren Church, known today as the Church of the Brethren. The Bushmans had no children. They added the brick addition with dining room and kitchen in 1860.

Amelia died after the war in 1875. Michael married Louisa Rupp in 1878. When Michael died in 1893 Louisa did not inherit the property, as the original will provided that the house would go to Michael and Amelia’s children when they died. As there were no children, the property was sold in 1894 to the Gettysburg Battlefield Memorial Association. In 1933 it was transferred to the National Park Service.

On July 2nd of 1863 Hood’s division swept across this land on the way to attack Little Round Top and the Devil’s Den. Hood may have been wounded in the Bushman orchard. The Bushman barn was probably used as a temporary field hospital, and eight Confederates were buried beside it. Like many other Gettysburg residents, the Bushmans, who had left before the battle, suffered losses, theft and destruction of property.

The town is named for W.S. Body (or Bodey), who had discovered small amounts of gold in hills north of Mono Lake. In 1875, a mine cave-in revealed a rich vein of ore, which led to purchase of the mine by the Standard Company in 1877. People flocked to Bodie and transformed it from a town of a few dozen to a boomtown. In 1881, Bodie's "bust" began and the town's population declined drastically. The town's population continuing to decline until only a few remained. Mining officially ceased in Bodie in 1942, the final nail in the coffin for Bodie's township. Two large fires in 1892 and 1932 reduced the town's remaining structures down to less than 10% of the 2,000 structures that once stood.
