Uniting Church, 14 Newall Street, MARNOO - Physical Description 1
The Uniting Church building, 14 Newall Street, Marnoo, has visual connections with other predominantly single storey, horizontal weatherboard residential and commercial buildings with pitched galvanised corrugated iron roofs. This building is generally in accord with the form and construction of the significant places visually connected to it. It is set on a larger sized allotment for the area and has a garden setting of mature shrubs, trees and a concrete driveway.
The single storey, restrained mid 20th century Gothic styled Uniting Church building is characterised by a shallow pitched gable roof form, together with stepped, wider gable roofs at the rear and a steeper pitched porch gable at the side. These roof forms are clad in galvanised corrugated iron. Wide overhangs are features of the eaves.
A change to the significant fabric has been the recladding of the original horizontal weatherboard walls with recent non-timber horizontal wall cladding.
At the front is are early triple lighted, timber framed pointed windows with decorative leadlighting. The side porch is supported by a series of rudimentary timber posts.
At the side are a series of early timber framed double hung windows. The double timber and glazed door opening under a rear side porch also appears to be early.
