One of the more prominent churches, All Saints in Ocean Street, was designed by [[Edmund Blacket]] and built from 1874-1881. The church was never entirely finished; it includes a porch that was meant to be a base for a tower and spire, which was designed but never built. It is constructed predominantly of dressed sandstone and is now listed on the [[Register of the National Estate]]. It has been described as "a beautifully designed and crafted parish church that has important connections with many famous Australian families."<ref>The Heritage of Australia, Macmillan Company, 1981, p. 2/138</ref>
A stylistic contrast is provided by the Holy Cross Church in Adelaide Street. This brick church was designed by Austin Mackay and built in 1940. It is a rarity insofar as it is an Art Deco church, which is unusual enough, and it also shows the influence of Dutch architecture.<ref>Sydney Architecture, Graham Jahn (Watermark Press) 1997, p.141</ref>
