Princes Square is a park on the edge of the city centre, that used to be a
brickfields. Along the streets that border it (St Johns, Elizabeth, Charles
& Frederick?) there's a number of churches the face the park including St
Johns, Chalmers and this one, not sure what it's called now but it was
Congregational.

That's a lithograph from 1887 and included in the subjects on the webpage
is "Launceston High School (Tas.) -- History -- 1851-1901 -- Pictorial works."

Maybe that jogs someone's memory?
