Details:
The first church in Merewether was built near the Glebe in 1856. This was replaced in 1887 by the first church on the Park Street site, with the current building (2001) replacing it in 1921. The current building originally had an ornate face brick facade and weatherboard side walls, and looked typical of many small churches around Newcastle. The front was substantially remodelled in 1974 with the brick crenelations and buttresses etc. removed, the remaining brickwork rendered, the roof and gable wall extended to the front and the porch added. About the same time the side walls were clad with brickwork. As such, the existing building has, externally at least, none of its original architectural detail, little if any original fabric, and no obvious historic character. The marble foundation stones are the only clue as to its historic origins. Internally however the church is very intact, albeit with little architectural detail. It comprises a single space with a traditional framed roof, the only architectural details being the exposed steel rods with circular connectors mid-span and simple dado panelling. The furnishings are the most significant elements, comprising a large number of pews, altar rail and pulpit etc. all of carved timber, and given their detailing they may well have come from the 1887 church. The rear hall is weatherboard and asbestos built in 1955 and is typical of that era. The illuminated cross and its location on top of the ridge does make the building prominent within the broader townscape. (now demolished)

Details:
In 1871 the Primitive Methodists erected a small wooden church on a block of land donated by Mr. Richard Hall. It was facing the Great Northern railway and services were held here for 17 years. Then a block of land was purchased on Maitland Road and the foundation or memorial stones were laid on May 11th, 1889, by the Rev. Blanksby and Alderman John Gilbert. Bennett & Yeomans were the architects and J. Myers the builder. The church was built in the Gothic style of architecture, 65 feet long, 35 feet wide and 20 feet from floor to ceiling, with a sloping floor. The church, which would accommodate 300 persons and cost £1,100 to erect, was known as the Maitland Road Methodist Church
