Statement of Significance
The earliest church in Victoria to be built in a Lombardic Romanesque style, designed by Reed and Barnes, and erected in 1866-67. The polychrome brick exterior, with tall campanile to the south-west, is especially notable. The galleried interior is of amphitheatrical form focussing upon pulpit and organ and designed for acoustic effect.
The building exerted a highly formative influence on subsequent polychrome church work and, together with Reed's Lombardic style houses, on polychrome architecture generally in Victoria.
