St Paul's Anglican Church, Frankston. A school was first built on the church site in 1857, and also used for worship services until the church building was completed in 1887. The rebuilt church building, following the fire on 26/10/1957, was consecrated on 18/12/1966.
An offshoot church known as St Silas' in Seaford was closed in June 1987.
