Newtown Baptist Church is located on the corner of Church Street and Lennox Street in the inner city suburb of Newtown. This heritage listed church was designed in the Gothic Revival architectural style and built in 1873. The spire in the distance belongs to St Stephen's Anglican Church located nearby along Church Street.
I might have thought that Gothic Revivalism would not have suited Australian conditions in 1873. But the Gothic elements have been modified beautifully.
i enjoy the fencing and the stone work on the front. so fancy. happy weekend. ( ;
