Map showing St Paul's Anglican Church

The former church was built in 1859–60 on a different site, in Fraser Street, and as a single nave. It was subsequently extended with transepts and was moved to the present site to become a Sunday school. Its principal interest lies in the external skin of board and batten treatment seen rarely in Victoria, but more common in New Zealand and North America, used here with Tudor label moulds over the openings. There are also early painted finishes surviving internally, including an ornamental stencilled dado, band.

The later church, built in 1870–71 of bluestone with cement dressings, is in the Decorated Gothic mode, and is the only identifiable Australian work of the architect Thomas Austin of Austin and Johnson, an able protege of the famous English Gothicist Sir George Gilbert Scott. It consists of a large and broad nave and porch. The intended sanctuary and vestry have not been constructed.
