Summary

[edit]
Description The first Baptist service in the colony was held in 1838 in a tent on the site where the Regent Theater now stands. The land for the first chapel on this site was bought from the Crown in 1852, and in 1853 a building intended as a schoolroom and seating 250 people was constructed at a cost of 700 pounds. It was set back from the street to allow a church in front. The chapel was designed by the architect Thomas Watts and was constructed by Huckson and Co in 1858-59. The front portion of the chapel was added in 1863-5 in accordance with the original design. Two intended towers were never constructed. A major fire on 6 October 1983 resulted in the collapse of the roof and the gutting of the auditorium or nave. An office building was subsequently constructed behind the facade, and the facade substantially restored. (Source: Heritage Victoria)
