Last rays of the day on St Jude's Anglican Church in Lygon St Carlton

The first fully polychromatic brick church in Australia, designed by Reed & Barnes and built in two stages between 1866 and 1870, but without the intended tower and spire.
(Polychromatic brickwork in architecture raises the issue of the skill level of bricklayers. Polychromatic brick detailing usually asks more of the bricklayer than straight facework, because of its focus on uniform gauge, care of brick arises, and the self-conscious nature of the end product.)
