Uniting Church Archives - Synod of Victoria
Photograph, Undated
The original Methodist Church in Warrnambool was erected on a site facing Liebig and Koroit Streets in 1850, but it proved to be not satisfactory because of its construction and being built over wombat holes. The second church was erected around the old church and opened 23 May 1858. That church remained in place for 81 years until 1939 when a new church was built and opened. The current Uniting Church is the 1939 Methodist Church.Sepia photograph mounted on card showing the exterior of the Warrnambool Methodist (Wesley Chapel) Church.warrnambool; methodist church; uniting church; koroit street; liebig street. -
