Is this where they held those lively soirees? Right before me stands Williamstown Presbyterian Church, a grand old dame of a building with a story to tell. Let’s journey back to 1870. That’s when this beautiful church first opened its doors, welcoming the faithful of Williamstown. The architects, Ross and Taylor, designed it in a striking Gothic Revival style, a popular choice in those times. They used sturdy bluestone, a hallmark of Melbourne architecture. Look up. Notice the tower? That wasn’t part of the original design. It was added in 1934, completing the church’s elegant silhouette. But did you know there was a bit of a tussle over the church’s location? Some folks wanted it on Ferguson Street, but the Cecil Street supporters won out. Imagine the excitement on June 10, 1860, when the first Williamstown Presbyterian Church opened, even before this one. They celebrated with a grand soiree. Folks even booked a special train from Melbourne just for the occasion. The Williamstown Presbyterian Church has seen a lot in its time. It’s a testament to the enduring spirit of this community.
