| Last updated on - July 21, 2004 The former St. Columban's Roman Catholic Church, 69-75 Main Street, Great Western, makes a significant architectural and cultural contribution to the Great Western township, and has visual connections to the Anglican Church nearby. It was erected to the design of the architect M. Ryan from Stawell in 1900. It is believed to have replaced an earlier Chapel named St. Augustine's, which was erected in the early 1870s. Catholic services, however, had been held at the Great Western diggings from 1858, the early days of the first goldrush. The former St. Columban's Roman Catholic Church is architecturally significant at a LOCAL level. It demonstrates original design qualities of a rudimentary Victorian Gothic Revival style. These qualities include the steeply pitched roof form, projecting porch gable at the front, galvanised corrugated iron roof cladding and the unpainted brick wall construction. Other intact qualities include the lancet and point arched windows with diamond leadlighting, rendered crosses that adorn the rooflines, rendered window architraves and sills, brick buttresses with rendered copings, gable copings, pointed timber doors, corbelled masonry gable ends and the pointed arched brick voussoirs in the rear gable end. The former St. Columban's Roman Catholic Church is historically significant at a LOCAL level. It is associated with the establishment and development of a Roman Catholic community at Great Western from 1858, with the gazettal of the present site in 1862 for use by the Roman Catholic Church, with the erection in the 1870s of a Chapel named St. Augustine's, which it replaced in 1900. The building is further associated with the Ararat architect, M. Ryan. The former St. Columban's Roman Catholic Church is socially significant at a LOCAL level. It is recognised and highly valued by the Great Western Catholic community for religious reasons. Overall, the former St. Columban's Roman Catholic Church, 69-75 Main Street, Great Western, is of LOCAL significance. |
