ST STEPHEN'S ANGLICAN CHURCH - Physical Description 1
St Stephens Anglican Church at Emu Creek is designed in a domestic vernacular style by the architect E.Mauermann who was one of a number of German architects who worked in Bendigo and surrounding areas. Mauermann is a lesser known architect than Vahland and Getzchmann who were dominant in Bendigo; however it is known that up to seven architects were employed in the offices of Vahland and Getzchmann between 1870 and 1880. Mauermann may have been one of these employees who later began his own practice.
The three bay structure is articulated with buttresses and the square headed, four pane windows are unusual in church design. The gable ends have shaped parapets with restrained but elegant brickwork detailing. A simple cross decorates the front gable. The porch and vestry are designed with hipped roofs and integrate well with the main form of the church. The only concession to the Gothic Revival is the pointed arch to the main entry door. St Stephen's is constructed of local red/orange face brickwork that is unadorned. The church appears to have undergone few changes other than repair and maintenance. There are two other buildings on the site that have been designed in complimentary style but are not of interest.
The interior has undergone some renovation with timber lining to one wall. The interior has a coved ceiling with hammerbeam trusses, partially concealed by the ceiling lining. There is some brick paving to the floor. A Sunday School and kitchen have been constructed in complementary style adjacent to the church.ST STEPHEN'S ANGLICAN CHURCH - Physical Conditions
