BRUNSWICK BAPTIST CHURCH - Physical Description 1
The Brunswick Baptist Church is a Gothic Revival bichrome brick building. Its east facade comprises three pointed arches springing from buttressed piers, the central one encompassing a leadlit traceried window above the main twin-arched entrance. The flanking arches encompass small circular windows above smaller arched windows. The top of the gable-end has a small circular opening (now housing a loudspeaker), and the gable has a stone fleur-de-lys finial. The entire facade is banded with wide cream brick string courses. Window opening dressings and parapet copings are of freestone, whilst the building sits on a bluestone plinth. The building also has an intact cast iron internal staircase.
The clinker brick and steel front fence appears to date from the inter-War period. The significance of the front facade has been diminished somewhat by the addition of a large white sign with neon lettering, which bears the name of the church.
