All Saints Church
A church building like this is clearly in the Gothic Revival style consistent with when it was built: 1871. It was designed by colonial architect Henry Hunter (1832-1892). The first Church of England was established at Waterloo Point in 1845, but by 1868 it was in real need of replacement having been built with second-rate materials.
This site at the top of Noyes Street (the highest point in town) was chosen. It is directly opposite Meredith House (1853). The Rev. Joseph Mayson (1808-1881) had established the parish way back in 1839, and he was there to move the community into this new church, finally retiring with ill-health in 1877. monumentaustralia.org.au/themes/people/religion/display/1...
As you can see, Henry Hunter's original slate roof has now been replaced by a much cheaper and longer lasting material: Colorbond. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Hunter_(architect)
