Description & History

The foundation stone of the Hawthorn West Presbyterian Church in Power Street was laid by James Dyer Esq., on 9 July 1910. The building was designed by HW and FB Tompkins and constructed by J Bennell & Son. The original elegant lead light windows, set with emblems,were possibly the work of EL Yencken & Co., although the Tompkins Brothers oftenordered stained glass from Brooks, Robinson & Co.

The commissioning of a window to honour the church members who died in the First World War was entrusted to William Montgomery, Melbourne's leading stained glas artist.He quoted a price of 100 guineas in a letter toCharles A King Esq. on 10 December 1920, which was apparently accepted, and the window completed, as an account for 115 pounds 10 shillings was duly paid in November the following year. It had been unveiledon 23 October 1921. Returned servicemen were especially welcomed to the service.

Twenty-three men from the congregation died during the First World War, and two Rolls of Honour, with their names and those of all who served, can be seen on the side walls of the main entrance.
