After the merger of the two congregations the building was bought by the Adelaide City Council and demolished in 1976.[8] Wright was also the architect of the Methodist Meeting Hall, located between the Pirie Street and Flinders Street churches. The hall was built in 1862 and is the only remaining part of the Pirie Street property and is now part of the Adelaide Town Hall Complex.
