History and Architecture:
The foundation stone of the first Presbyterian Church in Fitzroy was laid by Rev Ramsay in 1849 on the corner of Gertrude and Napier street. By 1870 the site was deemed too noisy for worship due to the traffic noise coming from Gertrude street and plans were commenced to build a new church on a site about 100 meters further down Napier street.
A Foundation stone reads, " This stone was laid by the Hon Sir James McCulloch MLA 13th November 1871".
