Statement of Significance

The former Wesleyan Sunday School and Church complex is of state historical and architectural significance. The church is of exceptional quality and integrity, and is the first in the important series of polychrome churches designed by Percy Oakden and is an early example of decorative polychromatic architecture in Melbourne. The use of Glew's cream bricks is locally important, particularly in this building where Glew was an active member of the congregation. The Sunday School derives additional significance from its innovative planning.
