CHRIST CHURCH OF ENGLAND (FORMER) - Physical Description 1
The former Christ Church of England, constructed c.1900, is a simple Victorian Carpenter Gothic church with pointed leadlight windows and a porch. The upper gable is decorated with timber rails. Although there have been minor modifications and additions at the rear, the building is in good condition. It compares with the former Templestowe Presbyterian Church at 104 Atkinson Street, Templestowe (refer to separate citation in this Study).
There are other more recent buildings and a large car park at the rear with access from Foote Street. These are unrelated to the early development of the church and are not significant.
