04684 Minnawarra Park, Sugar Gum Trees & Historic Precinct
It has aesthetic significance as an example of a church in the Federation Gothic style dating from the early 1900s. It has historic significance as the first church in Armadale and for associations with the Congregational and subsequently the Uniting Church. The Church was related to the life of the community. It often served as an additional classroom for the school throughout its life on the original site. Its high social significance is represented by the community project to relocate the building in the 1980s.
A single storey face brick and zincalume gabled roof church. The Gothic arched windows have timber frames and rendered sills.
The Church now sits in the Minnawarra Historic Precinct but its original location was on the corner of Third Road and Church Avenue, Armadale. Armadale’s first church, it was built in 1903 on land donated by Thomas Saw. A transept was added c1913 and a porch in the 1940s. The church was relocated to the Minnawarra Historic Precinct in 1988. Demolished due to the development of a shopping centre, a community committee called “The Armadale School and Congregational Church Relocation Trust” was formed in March/April 1987 to save both buildings. Materials from the demolition of the church were bought back from those who had contracted to buy them and, with a Commonwealth grant and many donors and helpers, the Church was permitted to be rebuilt next to History House Museum and vested in the City of Armadale.
