St Jude’s Anglican Church was built in 1874 and stands as an architectural landmark in the heart of Carlton, Victoria.
After a devastating fire in 2014, the Church suffered critical damage to large sections of the heritage listed structure and remained unusable for several years.
In 2019, works began to repair and protect the important existing fabric for generations to come. This was also an opportunity for an ambitious re-think of how the Church could be used by a modern parish and community.
