Ballarat Municipal Observatory ,  Ballarat School of Mines Observatory

Cnr Magpie & Cobden Street,, BALLARAT CENTRAL VIC 3350 - Property No B5629

Former John Knox Free Presbyterian Church

Church of Christ

327 - 333 Swanston Street and 178 Little Lonsdale Street,, MELBOURNE VIC 3000 - Property No B0824

A church built in 1863 to the design of Charles Webb, with what is possibly the most elaborate stuccoed Gothic facade in Victoria. In typical Webb fashion the decoration is concentrated on the central panel of the entrance (ecclesiastical west) front incorporating porch, traceried window, flanking octagonal turrets and piered parapet, and there is a generic resemblance to Webb's rather simpler Welsh Calvinistic Methodist Church, Latrobe Street (1871).
