Statement of Significance
The building is a representative example of a simplified interpretation of the Federation Gothic style.
The Church is a demonstration of the development that occurred in Cuballing around the turn-of-the-century as it became the service centre of the district.
Physical Description
The building is intimate in scale, with a steeply-pitched gabie roof, and is conventionally orientated east-west The building has an entry porch at the street elevation (east)".
The building has a high-pitched roof which is devoid of any decoration with the exception of timber barge boards and simple timber fret work in the gable ends. The porch is also covered by a gabie roof that has a timber bargeboard. The porch has a lancet shaped door opening with a timber panelled door.
The brick walis are iaid in colonial bond and are strengthened with stepped buttresses. The nave consists of six lancets, three either side, divided into four panes with a combination of thickened patterned glass and etched glass. Lancets also feature on the east elevation, one either side of the porch.
The interior of the building is austere. The walls are rendered and the timber floors boards have been covered with carpet. A new ceiling has been installed with suspended fluorescent lights.
A lined, timber framed addition extends across the rear elevation (west) with a lean-to roof.
A separate W.C. is at the rear of the site.
