About this objectExterior view of the Anglican church, corner of Toorak Road and Punt Road, showing Toorak Road frontage.
In the foreground is a section of the garden enclosed by a wire fence.
The church was designed by Webb and Taylor and built in 1856-7 by E.J. Young. Because of its proximity the Government House services at Christ Church were attended by the Governor and his staff. Between 1881 and 1889 aisles, a tower and sanctuary designed by Reed, Henderson and Stuart were added together with stained-glass by E.R. Suffling of London.
