Union Church, Hong Kong
Art Deco transverse arches of Union Church 4th generation building
- ... that the Union Church in Hong Kong was temporarily moved to the Hong Kong Volunteer Defence Corps Officers Mess from 1945 to 1949? Ref: "In 1945, the pre-war building in Kennedy Road was considered unsafe for congregation and the Church was temporarily moved to the Hong Kong Volunteer Defence Corps Officers Mess in Garden Road until 1949." from Hong Kong Antiquities Advisory Board document
- ALT1:... that the Sanctuary of the Union Church in Hong Kong had transverse arches in the Art Deco style? Ref: "Internally, the Sanctuary has impressive transverse arches in Art Deco style." from Hong Kong Antiquities Advisory Board document
- Comment: This building is interesting for several reasons: Union Church was established in Hong Kong 1844, just after Hong Kong became a British colony (1842). It is still active and had 4 church buildings in 3 locations so far, plus a time during which the church "disappeared" (hook 1). The 4th generation building, despite being a Grade III historic building has been destroyed in 2017 and will be replaced by an apartment building with a church in the lower floors (that will be the 5th generation!).

Date and length fine. Hooks are fine but my preference is for the original hook. QPQ is not needed as nominator only has 2 credits. No close paraphrasing, picture licence fine. Good to go. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 09:13, 17 March 2020 (UTC)
