St Michael's Anglican Church, Surry Hills, Anglican church in Surry Hills, Australia
St Michael's Anglican Church, now Vine Church, stands at the corner of Albion and Flinders Streets in Surry Hills. Edmund Blacket designed it in 1854 in the Gothic Revival style, built of sandstone with a slate roof, a belfry and dormers added in 1888. Inside are a nave with side aisles, a painted ceiling and dormer lights.
The building was designed in 1854 by architect Edmund Blacket and later expanded in 1917 when the chancel and vestries were rebuilt. These modifications shaped the church's current form.
