All Saints Anglican Church - Physical Description 1
-The site at 6163 Hitchcock Avenue has visual connections with the large pine trees and avenue of gum trees at the north end, and to other single storey residential, commercial and religious buildings of mixed styles and periods. This church complex is situated on a deep allotment, with typical front and side setbacks. The building also contributes to the single storey, pitched roof streetscape. The single storey, horizontal weatherboard and part brick Federation and interwar Carpenter Gothic Church building is characterised by a central dominant gable roof form, with projecting gables and other roofs establishing a cruciform plan of including a sanctuary east, chancels and vestries. Early ventilation stacks adorn the roofline. Wide overhangs are a feature of the eaves. The timber framed and pointed leadlight windows are recent 1950s additions, but contribute to the aesthetic character of the building. An early decorative feature of the design is the gable ventilator on the main gable. Inside the church, displayed on a mount, is the former bell of the Earl of Charlemont.
