Statement of Significance

Nahum Barnett accepted tenders for erection of this Chinese Mission Chapel and student's quarters in 1902.
The Mission was run by Cheong Cheok Hong. The building is a substantial composition in red brick in the form of a warehouse with reference to the Gothic style in the lancet windows, rendered mouldings, brick pilasters and corbelling. The building is a substantial element of Chinatown and demonstrates Chinatown's function as a centre of Chinese social and religious life.
