Wesleyan Church (former) - Physical Description 1
The former Wesleyan Church is designed in the Primitive Gothic style and built in 1865. Elements of the style include the use of gable roofs and pointed arched windows. Often there is a small round window or oculus that becomes a feature of the gable end, as is the case for Argyle. Variations to the style include whether a porch has been attached to one end, and whether the entry is to the side or end of the porch. The Argyle church adopts the more common form with a gable roofed porch attached to one end and the entry on the side. Variations in building materials are evident across the Bendigo region and the Argyle church is constructed of bricks. The uneven form of the bricks, evident underneath the paint, tends to support the evidence of a relatively early date of construction prior to the ready availability of machine made bricks.
Changes to the church involve painting, the loss of the moulding around the oculus, and the original windows. The roof and bargeboards have also been replaced.
The interior has not been investigated.
