LocationThe church building is located at 287 on Sydney Road, one of the main roads in the Northern suburb of Brunswick in Melbourne.[1][2] HistoryIn the second half of the 19th century, the land where the church building now stands belonged to Mr. Michael Dawson of Brunswick.[3] However, in 1860, it was also used as a camp for nomadic Aboriginals.[4] In the late 1860s, Dawson donated the land to the Catholic Church for a new church to be built in the neighbourhood.[3] Prior to this, Catholics who lived in Brunswick had to go to Coburg, North of Brunswick, or to the Melbourne City Centre, South of Brunswick.[3] The church was named in honour of Saint Ambrose (340–397), who served as the Archbishop of Milan in Italy in the fourth century AD, after an Italian family from Milan who lived in Brunswick suggested it.[3] The first foundation stone was laid in 1869, with 800 Catholics in attendance.[3][5] After spending £6,000, the building was completed in 1873.[3] In 1890, it became a parish church, cut off from the Coburg parish.[3] Nine years later, in 1899, the church building was extended, with additional transepts, a sanctuary, two chapels, a porch and a baptistry.[3] On February 19, 1899, a memorial stone was also added near the Northern transept.[3] During the First World War, it was a meeting place for the anti-conscription movement.[2] The church building was restored in 2000.[3] Heritage significanceThe church building was designed in the Gothic Revival architectural style, with a cruciform plan.[2] The wall are made of bluestone, and the roof is made of timber.[2][3] There is also an organ dating back to the nineteenth century, and stained glass windows.[3] It has been listed by Heritage Victoria with a "Heritage Overlay," which aims to protect places of local significance to Victoria.[2] References1. ^Parish website: Contact US {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160323004352/http://stambroseparish.org.au/cont-us.htm |date=2016-03-23 }} {{Catholic Church in Australia}}2. ^1 2 3 4 St Ambrose's Church, Heritage Victoria 3. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 Parish website: History 4. ^Laura Donati, Almost Pretty: A History of Sydney Road, Laura Donati: West Brunswick, Victoria, 2005, p. 16 5. ^Museum Victoria: Municipality of Brunswick, Victoria 6 : Roman Catholic churches in Melbourne|Roman Catholic churches in Victoria (Australia)|Roman Catholic churches completed in 1873|Gothic Revival architecture in Melbourne|Heritage-listed buildings in Melbourne|Gothic Revival church buildings in Australia |
