St David's Presbyterian Church (former) - Physical Description 1
The former St David's Presbyterian church in Church Road, Woori Yallock is now in the process of being transformed into a private residence. The church building dates from 1908, with major changes occurring in c1936 when the entry porch was added, and then in recent years when a building was moved to the site and attached to one side of the church to serve as a Sunday School. All of these additions remain, although the Sunday School addition has been transformed by the addition of a pitched roof. The building has then been further extended by the addition of a two storey wing, which adopts a form strongly reminiscent of the church.
The church remains substantially intact externally and internally, retaining its overall form, weatherboard cladding, doors and windows. Internally, the church is lined with bead-edged boards forming a dado, with plywood sheet and timber straps on the upper walls. The roof trusses are exposed. The church will form part of the house, and internally changes are being made to enable this to happen. The owners are keen to maintain the internal volumes of the space and as many features as possible.St David's Presbyterian Church (former) - Physical Conditions
