History and Architecture:
The church was completed in 1897 by which time a wooden church hall, separate from the church, had been erected on the site of the present rectory. In 1977 the church building was divided, with the northern half forming the church, and the other half the church hall, now known as the Eve Cohen Hall. Two old wooden church halls were demolished and in 1978 a new rectory, with parish offices, was built on the site.
The opening ceremony on 2nd November, 1889 was performed by the Very Reverend William Macquarie Cowper M.A., Dean of Sydney and
Administrator of the Diocese and the following members of the Clergy were also present:- Archdeacon King, Canon Rich, the Revs. A.W. Pain, F.B. Boyce, A. Killworth, T.B. Tress and A.R. Barslen.
