Opened 30 Nov 1896, closed, now private.
“Mrs. Nock, of Port Adelaide, came forward with a generous offer to present a very suitable site at . . . Glanville, as a gift. Messrs. D. & J. Williams, land agents, then consented to forego the usual fees for the transfer of the property: and Mr. J. H. Hollingworth, architect, promised to prepare the plans and to superintend the erection of the building without any charge.” [Register 26 Mar 1896]
“The dedication of St. Nicholas's Mission Church, Glanville, took place in the presence of a large congregation on Monday evening, the Bishop of Adelaide officiating. The building . . . has been erected in memory of the late Mr. Charles Trafford Smith, who died in February last. . . The structure is of iron, variations of weatherboard giving a pleasing effect. . . the Bishop . . . said St. Nicholas Mission Church completed the circle of mission churches which were to be the outposts and therefore the inner strength of the mother church (St Paul’s, Port).” [Advertiser 2 Dec 1896]

GLANVILLE BIBLE CHRISTIAN CHAPEL
Foundation stone 31 Aug 1878 by Chief Justice S J Way, architect Daniel Garlick, opened 6 Jan 1879, Methodist after Union 1900, Uniting 1977, closed, demolished 1984.
“the contract for the erection of a Bible Christian Chapel at Glanville has been let. . . The Rev. R. Kelly will reside at Glanville, and will open Divine Service in his own house, Carlisle-street, near the proposed hew chapel, on the last Sunday in the present month. Services will be held regularly every Sunday at the same place until the new chapel is completed.” [Express & Telegraph 4 Jul 1878]
“the Chief Justice . . . in addressing the assembly apologized for his late arrival. He had come down by the train in time, but Glanville had grown so large that in finding his destination he had wandered up and down wrong streets. (Laughter). Although he had so little local acquaintance, yet 25 years ago he had walked from the beach over that spot to the Port. At that time, he believed, the neighbourhood was covered with the honeysuckle tree, but at all events it presented a different appearance to what it did that day. [Evening Journal 2 Sep 1878]
“The site is in Carlisle-street south of Hart-street, from which thoroughfare the structure is visible as a prominent object. The edifice is built with Dry Creek stone with cement dressings; is Gothic in style, lofty in appearance, and withal neat. The dimensions are 45 by 35 feet. The interior furnishings are kauri and huon pine sittings for 200 persons. . . The land is sufficiently large for the erection of an adjoining school or lecture rooms, it being 51 x 127 feet. The building is surmounted by a bell turret, and lighted by deep narrow Gothic windows upon all sides.” [Christian Colonist 10 Jan 1879]
“The jubilee services of the Glanville Methodist Mission . . . invited Mrs. R. Thompson, who has been a member for over 46 years, to unveil the Memorial Window, provided for ‘Former Workers’, and Mr. A. H. Admore, as representing the returned soldiers present, to unveil one in honour of those men who enlisted at Duty's call and proceeded overseas in the cause of ‘Truth and Right’. These two windows are a very fine tribute to the glazier's art, and taken in conjunction with the new leadlights in place of the original windows greatly enhance the beauty of the church.” [Australian Christian Commonwealth 21 Sep 1828]
