Statement of Significance

The two former Presbyterian Churches at 212 Sydney Road, Brunswick, are of local historical and architectural significance. They form a noteworthy pair, the later building designed by Evander McIver, who was also responsible for the first stage of the Brunswick Municipal Offices in 1867. The 1865 bluestone church is an early example of an ecclesiastical building in bluestone in Brunswick, and its spire, of locally-produced cream brick, is of particular architectural note. The churches demonstrate the Presbyterian (now Uniting) Church's continuous association with this site of more than 130 years, and the complex as a whole is a landmark on Sydney Road.
