4 Meredith Street, Nelson, Vic 3292

A graceful and significant stone building built at a time of early population of regional Victoria's farming community. This building was a long time coming for the congregation of the Presbyterian Church with the first Church service recorded to have been held in the Nelson Hotel by Reverend R. A. Caldwell in 1875. The congregation continued to grow over time and under the leadership of Reverend Williams of Wern began holing regular services in a school room in 1884.

In 1908 the Church purchased the land on which the church building currently sits, and the buildings' journey began. Built by the congregation of the Church in 1909, and officially opened on the 20th August 1910. The original main building with high cathedral ceilings and windows and hardwood cedar floors is filled with charming period detail. The stone was quarried from the nearby paddock and relieved by white quoin edgings. The building was built to last and has been standing gloriously on its elevated hillside for just over a century. Later additions to the building include the front entry porch, kitchen, electrical and toilet facilities added in 1984.

The former Church buildings' original neat gothic design was inspired by appointed architect Mr Thomas Hall, A Scot from Galashiels. Other buildings that this architect was involved with around this time included Yallum House in Penola built for pastoralist and politician John Riddoch and Mount Gambier's Jens Hotel.

The building functioned well Bringing together the community for church services for many years. It has now come time for the building to be sold and begin its next journey with new custodians.
