| Last updated on - June 17, 2010 What is Significant? The Malvern Presbyterian Church was built in Wattletree Road in 1906 and designed by Melbourne architect Robert Haddon. It contains well executed fittings and furniture designed by Haddon and an organ by prominent firm, George Fincham & Sons. The first church for this congregation was built in Glenferrie Road in 1888 and this timber building was relocated to the rear of the Wattletree Road site in 1904. It was used as a church hall after the new church was constructed and has since been demolished. The Malvern Presbyterian Church was the first of three Presbyterian churches designed by the highly influential Arts and Crafts architect Robert Haddon. He designed a variety of buildings, including offices, houses and churches and other public buildings and often undertook design work for other architects. The Malvern Presbyterian Church was designed by Haddon as Consulting Architect and Arthur Peck as Supervising Architect. The building demonstrates the application of Haddon's design principles, and the plan and perspective sketch were used to illustrate these in his influential book Australian Architecture published in 1908. It clearly shows the influence of the Arts and Crafts movement in its honest use of materials and craftsmanship, and contains suggestions of the Art Nouveau, as seen in a restrained manner in much of his work. It demonstrates his principles of simplicity and originality in design and his desire for a harmonious, balanced composition by the use of purposeful ornamentation and elements, carefully placed on plain surfaces. The church is of traditional gable form, comprising a broad nave with a sloping floor, front wing porches, shallow transepts and vestries across the rear. It is constructed of red brick with freestone tracery and slate roof. The front facade displays imaginative detailing with a prominent window with Gothic tracery containing two central mullions which bisect the window and rise through the plain brick gable to a capped turret with a Haddon-designed wrought iron finial of thistles. Flanking porches, subtly different in design, display deep brick reveals and contain entry doors with elaborate wrought iron hinges. The well lit interior, with windows by stained glass artist August Fischer, has an open timber roof, lined with red pine, and sinuous plaster Art Nouveau corbels ornament the bases of the roof timbers. In Arts and Crafts fashion and in keeping with his desire for the architect to produce the total design, Haddon designed the fixtures and loose furniture. The fixtures include the font, pulpit, pews, pew screens and carved organ case with cherub head. The loose furniture, designed by Haddon in keeping with the 'total work of art' thesis, is significant, including those pieces listed in the inventory held by the Executi |
