A pair of nice churches on Sydney Road Brunswick – both Presbyterian, one succeeding the other. I like the bluestone one more, dating from 1864, designed by Charles Webb, small but soaring.
Twenty years later they needed a bigger church, and I guess already had the land, and this time engaged Evander McIvor to do it; it’s brown brick, but outweighed by the stone dressings, a strange effect in the end. Nice timber ceiling inside (pics from Google maps). The new entry canopy is bit too…. stark.
