Ashby Uniting Church - Now Islamic Mosque - Physical Description 1
It is built of coursed quarry faced bluestone with a gable roof clad in slate. The church is entered by way of a rectangular porch which has a battlemented parapet and gothic arched doorway. Similar gothic arches are used for the windows. All the window and door enframements appear to be made of white granite from the Dog Rocks (near Batesford) as are the quoining, buttresses, corbelling and window tracery.
