There's an old Baptist tabernacle in the main street of Longford, unused except for a Funeral Director who had an office there. A couple of years ago it was bought by the Tasmanian Farmers and Graziers Association and work started on changing it to become their headquarters. Being nosy, our Probus Club invited itself to have a conducted tour of the premises and that took place this morning.
It was interesting. They employed proper Heritage Architects to plan the work and the result is great. Our Probus President happens to be a retired Baptist Minister and was stationed there for a short time early in his ministry. Other members remember attending a Youth Club there and others attended Sunday School.
Being an incomer, I had no connection to the place but even I could appreciate the historical; significance of the place and how pleasing it is that it still significant today.
