Physical Description
Description and History:
There are two buildings on this site. The first, built in 1892, is located at the rear of the block and is a stone structure with a steeply pitched roof and Gothic windows and door. A cement brick kitchen has been added to the rear of the old church. The ornate new church, built in 1901, faces onto Duke Street. The street elevation is in the form of a parapeted gable wall which projects forward from the traditional, steeply pitched, corrugated iron roof. Buttresses extend up the face beyond the wall to create pinnacles characteristic of the Federation Romanesque style. There seems to be a mixture of almost classic detailing with the painted rendered surfaces over the red painted brickwork.
History
Notes: Comprises stone and iron Hall (old church, 1892, 1901, 1954), red brick and iron Church (1901, 1924), both in the Federation Gothic style, and the Manse (1908, 1967) a brick and iron Federation Bungalow. The Church fronts Duke Street, the Hall is behind the Church. The Manse fronts Chidlow Street. The Church is rectangular in plan with a central entry. It is of brick construction detailed in Flemish Bond that is tuckpointed to the front and to the return lobby wings. The gable roof is clad with corrugated iron. There is a 1924 rear extension.
