Comments
The foundation stone was relaid on 4/2/1879 and the first section opened that year. The church building was never completed to the original design, and the chancel and apse are 'temperary' constructions.
The Hungarian Reformed Church was established in Melbourne in 1949. The present building was bought by this church/congregation in 1979.
More historical information/photographs of the church/congregation are invited. Photographs uploaded 2/3/2017.
