Statement of Significance
What is significant?
The Victoria Street Uniting Church and Hall at 21 & 21B Victoria Street and 1 Louisa Street, Coburg.
How is it significant?
The Victoria Street Uniting Church and Hall at Victoria and Louisa Streets, Coburg is of local historic and aesthetic significance to the City of Moreland.
Why is it significant?
Of historic significance, for its direct associations with the Coburg Presbyterian church which first established a congregation in Coburg prior to 1850, and built its first church in 1852. Also, for its ability to demonstrate the work of local architect Keith Reid, who designed churches in Moreland in the late 1950s and early 1960s. (AHC Criteria G.1 & H.1)
Of aesthetic significance, as a very good example of 1960s ecclesiastical architecture in Coburg, which demonstrates the typical features of church architecture of that period, including a rectangular plan and an emphasis on verticality. Its elegant belltower is a good example of type. (AHC Criterion E.1)
