Comments
The Koo Wee Rup Presbyterian Church is now closed, and the property listed for sale (Jan 2022).
"Presbyterian services first took place at the home of Mrs Hudson, who owned the Grange. Locals donated money to purchase a Church building and the Wesleyan building from Cranbourne was obtained at a cost of 70 pounds. This church, designed by Architect Alfred Dunn, had been erected in 1888 and it was transported to Koo-Wee-Rup on a large trolley drawn by 13 horses and placed on land donated by Christopher Moody. The first service in this building was on March 20, 1896. This is the oldest public building in the town." (Extract from - http://www.kooweebypass.com.au/koo-wee-rup-then-and-now.pdf).
