This is an Early Gothic stone and slate roofed building designed by J.E. Addison, and built 1834-6 with smooth façade and packed sides, featuring a central tower like parapet and four small spires.  The adjacent Hall attributed to W. Wilson and built in 1834 was the original St Andrew’s Church and the oldest Presbyterian Church building in Australia. [1]


The fabric screen façade is about 20 years old. Trevor Bunning was told (Dec 2008) that it replaced an elaborate Victorian pipe façade. The then minister thought the organ was "the work of the devil" and had the facade removed.
