Statement of Significance
STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE - ST MARY OF THE ANGELS PRESBYTERY
The Presbytery at St Mary of the Angels Church in Geelong was erected in 1886, to replace a dilapidated structure built before 1845. The Architect for the new two-storey rendered brick presbytery was Joseph Watts, a local architect, and his design is in the archetypal high Victorian villa format with a patterned slate roof and elaborate encircling cast-iron verandah as the most distinctive external features. The presbytery has interesting historical association with the adjacent church, and is enhanced by its situation in expansive gardens.
