STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE

Presbyterian Manse
21 McIntyre Street

This building has local significance as the domestic part of the St Andrew's Presbyterian church complex in the prestigious Church Hill precinct and for its historical importance as the second St Andrew's manse. The first 1861 manse had improvements made in 1909 when the new St Andrew's Church was opened, but ceased to be used in 1911. ([i]) It was replaced in 1912 by the present manse. The first occupant was the Rev J A Barber on 12 May 1912. ([ii]) The manse built in the Federation style is typical for its period and shows a modern openness that betrays its later date. Originally the site had an extensive garden and yards and outbuildings including timber stables. ([iii]) There have been superficial changes but the building remains substantially intact and in fair condition. The house and garden are an important contributor to the streetscape because of its corner position.
