The temple is one of few surviving buildings of its type in Victoria and stands as sole reminder of once extensive Chinese community that flocked to this area during the gold rush. Its symmetrical composition is dominated by ornamental central portico and reflects traditional Chinese design principles; the lantern in centre of interior wall painting in portico. Brick cresting and incised carving of head board are notable features. It is an outstanding feature of this historic city.
