HISTORY

The Vicarage was built in Ross Street Mornington between 1863 - 1867 for the first vicar, Rev. James Glover, of St Peter’s Anglican Church of 1861 situated in Queen Street. It was built of red brick, similar to those used for the Church, and later surfaced with white stucco. Additions were made later in the 19th Century. It is of significance to the early history of this local precinct of church, court house, post office and bank. It is cited in the Shire of Mornington Heritage Study 1994.
