The non indigenous culture in Australia is comparatively recent. I am getting interested in our older buildings. In Albury I went in and had a look around St Matthew’s church. I particularly enjoy stained glass and the other art in these buildings.
Three architects contributed to the current building. Edmund Blackett, created the earliest parts of the building in 1857-59. William Boles completed the original building in 1876 with the chancel, and Ian O’Connor designed the rebuild after fire gutted it in 1991.
Below I have included pics of stained glass, a couple of the modern stations of the cross and some modern inclusions.
