    Holy Trinity Orthodox Church (Former St Cuthberts Church of England) - Physical Description 1

    The Holy Trinity Orthodox Church is located on a prominent corner site at the intersection of Nicholson Street and Glenlyon Road. The church design is inspired from a mixture of Free Gothic and Arts and Crafts, as well as elements commonly found in castle design. The church is a substantial red brick construction with a recently replaced gable terracotta tile roof, two projecting roofs to the north and south, and a castellated tower housing church bells, louvered openings and a large arched timber entry door. Above the door is a painted biblical scene. Timber windows are in the tracery arched style with modern screens over the top which have been retrofitted to the arch. The western elevation includes a large reinforced concrete Celtic style crucifix on the brickwork.

    The church is surrounded by a well-kept European style garden containing plantings such as roses, hedges and cedars. Several garden beds have been provided adjacent to the church building itself and are constructed of matching red brick. The property is bound by a brick fence which matches the brick to the church. It is topped with a metal palisade fencing painted black. An entry gate, located on the south west corner of the site, is also metal palisade.

    To the east of the church is a two-storey red brick building with a black tile roof, aluminium windows and several arched features to the facade fronting Noel Street. Based on the style and materials, it appears to have been built in the 1970s.

    To the north of the church is a single-storey building which was most likely constructed post 2000s. It has been constructed in red brick with multiple gable end features provided along all elevations. Windows are black metal framed and the roof is provided in grey Colourbond.

    The church building, landscaping, fencing and additional buildings are very well kept and in good condition. The site presents well to the street.
