The first Anglican services in East Melbourne were held in 1842 by the Revd John Yelverton Wilson in a workshop at the eastern end of Little Bourke Street. Charles Laing was appointed architect for a new church following the submission of sketch proposals at the invitation of the Trustees by five local architects. An initial proposal by Sydney architect Thomas Edmund Blacket did not proceed. The foundation stone was laid on 18 June 1846 by Charles Joseph La Trobe, Superintendent of the Port Phillip District. The initial church constructed of brick with stone facings had a shingled roof. It was formally opened on 6 August 1848. The church was enlarged in 1854 to designs by architect Charles Vickers with the nave increased in length, the transepts with galleries and a chancel added, and the shingles roof replaced with slate. Leonard Terry carried out alterations including an enlarged chancel, an added vestry, and a Baptistery, with the new chancel opened on 29 June 1876. Work continued with five stained glass windows by Ferguson and Urie added to the chancel in December 1876. Repairs and alterations were carried out by Walter Butler of Butler and Inskip in 1897 which included installation of gas lines and Tobin tubes for ventilation, removal of the transept galleries, and a new layout of pews to include a central and two side aisles. Further alterations took place during 1927-29 including installation of timber panelling in the transepts and chancel, and installation of a choir screen by Louis Williams. In 1945 a stained glass window was installed in the north transept designed by Napier Waller to commemorate the New Guinea mission, and eleven Anglican martyrs and to mark the centenary. A second Waller window in the south transept was subsequently added. The current organ is the third organ in the church and was constructed by George Fincham and Son Pty Ltd and completed in March 1974. Known originally as the Melbourne Diocesan School, St Peters School was opened on 11 April 1849. The original school, as well as the sexton's house and parsonage were constructed in the late 1840's and were designed by Charles Laing. By 1886 part of this site had been transferred to the Parliament of Victoria and the building demolished. A new vicarage and school were erected in 1886 to the designs of William Pitt. St Peters Hall, designed by Alexander North was erected in 1913 as part of St Peters School and contained a large hall and 2 classrooms. The school suffered economic difficulties during the Depression and was closed at the end of 1935. Since that time the hall has been mainly used by theatrical and music groups. How is it significant?
