Lutheran Church - Physical Description 1
This church was built in 1876 to the design of C.D Casseli and constructed by Taylor & Ellis
The building is of a striking and unique composition and displays elements of Ruskinian Italian Gothic: banded brick arches, Lombardic motifs; and an attenuated version of a stepped arcaded corbel table leading to the central tower. The tall blind arcading of the tower is similar to the Campanile at Venice. The tower is surmounted by an arcaded corbel table with trefoil arches above which is a parapet with quatrefoil openings surmounted by a slate clad pyramidal roof.
The lower part of the building consists of more conventional elements.
Banded Gothic openings and a patterned string course at low impost height lightens the heaviness of the red brickwork. The side and rear elevations are less impressive, as is the simple white-washed interior.
The front elevation of this building is of great importance and is unique to the State of Victoria. The combination of unusual elements in patterned relief brickwork and the imposing superimposed Venetian campanile combine to make this church of great significance.Lutheran Church - Integrity
