HO219 - St Michaels Anglican Church, 469-475 Ironbark Road, Yarrambat - Physical Description 1
Description:
This is a simple gabled bullnose weatherboarded clad church with a faceted apse at the north end and a similar but smaller, faceted hipped roof from as the entry porch, at the south end. There are four obscured glass double-hung sash windows in each side wall (with hopper vents internally) with similar windows in each alternative facet of the apse. Double vertical boarded entry doors are located in the porch and the east side of the nave.
Inside the church has a chamfered ceiling, plain plaster sheet wall and ceiling finished with a dado of vertical pine T&G boards (added, refitted or refinished?). The one coloured glass window has a red cross with radiating amber segments in clear and amber. The church furnishings (pews with carved ends) may be as original.
The form adopted is more typical of 1920's rural churches, perhaps reflecting the conservative views of the parishioners.
The landscaping is largely recent with a semi mature Monterey pine at rear agapanthus and gum specimens. There is a recent memorial garden next to the church with memorials to the Hall and the Hern families.
