St Aloysius Convent girls dormitory, Toodyay
St Aloysius Convent of Mercy classrooms and girls dormitory (fmr) is located on Stirling Terrace in Toodyay, Western Australia. This building is a part of the complex the Sisters of Mercy built to provide accommodation and a school.[1] William Thomas Clark built the single storey building, tendering £4,444 for the job in 1928. Mr. Edgar Le B. Henderson of Perth was the architect.[2] It accommodated 35 girls and was strong enough to carry another storey if required. Patrick Clune, Lord Archbishop of Perth, opened the building on 12 May 1929.[3] As well as providing accommodation for the girl boarders along with a night study area and rooms for the sisters in charge,[2] the premises were used annually for the Convent Ball.[1] The building is constructed of red brick and red corrugated iron, and has decorative cement render and timber framed windows.[1] References
