Statement of Significance
A rare surviving example of a Welsh Baptist Chapel, built in 1869-70 to the design of R A Love. The building is of great technical interest as the best documented of a group of true cavity walled buildings in Stawell, apparently the first in Victoria, all of similar date and at least one also by Love. The classical facade has a projecting centrepiece capped by a bracketted pediment carrying acroteria or statuary bases in a Roman or perhaps Vanbrughian manner. The corners are unusually treated as masonry piers with staggered joints rather than as keyed quoins, and the higher mass of the entrance front composition is effectively repeated at the opposite end to give a strange double-ended effect.
