Details: The opening and dedication of this church took place on Sunday, November 22nd, 1863. It occupied a very prominent site on the heights of Newcastle and could be seen for miles, but it also had its disadvantages. It was exposed to all gales and tempests, and on a wild night the wind used to roar against the edifice to an alarming extent. The gale of November, 1867, badly damaged the chapel, and in the Dandenong gale of September, 1876, the roof was blown off and other damage done.

Details: Wesleyan Church-This building, which is situated in a very exposed position: in Tyrrel-street, is remarkable for the abrupt attitude of its roof, which is pitched at a very acute angle, and is a conspicuous land-mark, The northern side of the roof of this Church has parted from end to end, right across the centre. At three o clock yesterday afternoon the separated portions were each undulating wave-like, and could be seen at a considerable distance rising and falling with each gust of wind, as if the next blow would hurl each half of the roof into the street below.
