Statement of Significance
The two buildings as a group demonstrate the style of buildings erected by the Congregational Church around the turn of the Century. They stand as relics of the social order of the district at that time.
Physical Description
The CHurch Hall designed by George Temple Poole was constructed in 1895 in limestone with brick quoins and with a high volume corrugated iron roof and corner tower.
The Church, now joined with a modern link to the Hall, and formerly Congregational then Uniting Church was built in 1906 in similar materials.
The Hall in Victorian Romanesque Revival Style is reasonably compatible with the later church, designed by E.J. Henderson in a Victorian Gothic Revival style with Art Nouveau stained glass. Both buildings incorporate high volume roofs with exposed trusses and boarded ceilings.
