Built by James Narroway in the 1840's as a small workman's hut where he lived with his wife Sarah. Later in 1848, it was used as a Congressional Chapel and was dedicated to the Church of England in 1915. Made of Jarrah and measuring only 3.8 × 6.7m, it claims the distinction of being the smallest church in Western Australia.
In 1987, the Carey Park old church was transported the site to serve as the church for the Australind community.When in 1994 a new church was built within a few metres of the original this building became the Op-Shop
