Statement of Significance
St James Church of England, now Tobin Brothers is of significance to the locality of Pakenham as once one of the main early public buildings in the town and formerly the Shire, illustrating Pakenham's role as a service centre to the surrounding district.
The church is also significant for its comparative age, judged among other public buildings in the Shire and as an expression of one of the locally important families, such as the Hentys, the Staughtons and the Kitchens.

ST JAMES CHURCH OF ENGLAND (FORMER) - Physical Description 1
Sited at the Main Street McGregor Road corner, the gabled church is a simple Gothic Revival in style and is clad with face brick (since painted) with cement dressings to copings and openings. The roofs are clad with corrugated iron, there are buttresses to the side walls and quoining at the openings. A vestry and chancel have been added early this century along with more recent changes. The roof has small gabled vents and the main gable end has an oculus window, pierced in a trefoil pattern.
ST JAMES CHURCH OF ENGLAND (FORMER) - Physical Conditions
New annexes have been added to the side and front of the church, the bricks have been painted and a number of early (1900-) rear additions made, rendering the original appearance of the brick church hard to envisage. The interior has presumably also been considerably changed to meet the new use.
The fence has been replaced with a treated pine log type.
