The hall is an historical legacy of the development of the Anglican Christ Church in Melton in the nineteenth century. Built in 1899, it is the only remaining built structure on the site of the original, bluestone church. The bluestone church was demolished in the 1990s and the only relics remaining are a stained glass window in the garden and the metal belltower.
The former Christ Church Sunday School Hall at Unitt Street is architecturally significant at a LOCAL level ( AHC D.2, E.1) Although there have been changes to the building, addition and removal of porches, the building still demonstrates original design qualities of the Victorian Picturesque style. These qualities include the steeply pitched gable roof form, the corrugated sheet metal roof cladding, timber framed window openings and wooden gable finials.
The former Christ Church Sunday School Hall at Unitt Street is historically significant at a LOCAL level ( AHC A4, B2) It is the only remaining building on the site of the now demolished Christ (Anglican) Church, and as such represents the changing fortunes of the Anglican church in Melton. Its modest size and simple style probably reflects the size and beliefs of the congregation that built it, and the sorts of activities for which it was used for many decades. It is now a very busy opportunity shop run by the church.
