History and Architecture:

Formerly Scots' Presbyterian Church, it was constructed in 1937. The foundation stone was laid on 21 August 1937 by W F Bon, whose mother had donated a significant amount to the church building fund. The church was designed by Melbourne architects Scarborough, Robertson and Love and was constructed by a Mr Adam of Fernshaw. The church opened on 18 December 1937 with a report noting that 'never has a local church function attracted so much attention.

Architecturally, the clinker brick church is a substantially externally intact and prominent building set back from the street in a garden setting. The building has a prominent tranverse terracotta-tiled gabled roof, and gabled bays to the east and western ends. The latter accommodates the entry with bell cote above.
