Former Congregational Church

The former Congregational Church, built between 1840 and 1841 by J. Franklin, is a stone chapel that stands two storeys high with a basement and features nine bays facing Nelson Street. The basement is rusticated and has a flat lintel band. The main façade is adorned with a giant Corinthian pilastrade, with windows set in architraved, round-headed recesses. The windows are fitted with small paned casements, and the building is topped with an entablature and a tall parapet.

The façade facing Berry Street displays channelled rustication and includes a projecting drum supported by a Corinthian colonnade of ten monolithic columns. The central entrance features an architrave and a consoled cornice, with paired six-panel doors and flanking eared architraved entrances. The drum extends upward, showcasing a guilloche band that frames wheel windows and a lead-covered cupola.

The left return of the building is similar in style and includes an attached two-storey, three-bay structure that is not listed. Ornamental iron railings are present, although some are missing. Inside the drum, there is a double staircase with decorative iron balusters, a panelled balcony at the upper level, a coffered dome, and a mahogany entrance doorcase.
