Hawthorn Presbyterian Church

Reviewed By 400grahamn - Melbourne, Australia

This building looks totally different inside from what the outside suggests, and has been loving restored by the congregation in recent years. The pipe organ is marvellous. Acoustics in a building like this can be tricky, but it seems all covered by a PA system. Normally closed during the week but open pretty much throughout Sundays.

Wonderful Hawthon landmark - but understand the tower is in danger of collapse. One hopes the church community will stop infighting and come to some agrement on the best way to save it.
