The interior was described as: 'The altar is a wonder of workmanshiop, its face being of pure brass worked into the symbolic figurees indicative of phases of Chinese history dating back for centurie. Most of the furniture for the new 'Joss House' has been imported from China, and from an artistice point of view is well worth seeing'.

Comment in Northern Miner 22 Oct 1889 '. The Chinese are beating the parsons out of the field; their Joss Houses offer seductions undreamt of in the tabernacles of the Christians.
