Statement of Significance

What is significant?
The former St Andrew's Presbyterian (Methodist) Church of 1902 and the 1891 Sunday School (and original church) at 69 Denbigh Road, Armadale, to the extent of their original fabric.
The elements introduced as part of the residential conversion, including the brick fence and lych gate, are not significant.

How is it significant?
The former Church and Sunday School are of local historical and architectural significance to the City of Stonnington.

Why is it significant?
Historically, as an iconic example of local Presbyterian culture with a large, lively and influential Sunday School at the rear. (Criterion A)

Architecturally, the church of 1902 is an expertly massed design by prominent architectural practice Sydney Smith & Ogg. The Greek cross plan of the church reflects the Methodist emphasis on preaching, and is an early example of this type of building. (Criterion D)
