FORMER BAPTIST CHURCH - Physical Description 1
This church was constructed in 1886-87 to the design of Architect J.A. Doane for a cost of £3591. The exterior (including; the classical portico) was not completed until a later date, possibly the late 1870's.
The composition consists of a fluted Corinthian giant order portico attached to a facade with unfluted Corinthian pilasters on a represented ashlar carcass. The facade has an irregular arrangement of fenestration.
The entablature of the portico is very refined; the pediment itself is formed up on a timber frame in plaster.
The interior is relatively intact and of a domestic character. The floor originally sloped away to the east and, but has since been levelled.
Together with the Baptist Church in Collins Street, this building provides an excellent essay in Reman Revival church architecture. However, this building, unlike the Collins Street Church, can be viewed in its entirety without any intrusions. The building is in good condition, is relatively intact, and provides an important streetscape element.FORMER BAPTIST CHURCH - Integrity
