26586 Central York Heritage Area
Cultural heritage significance for the following reasons: 1. The Church Hall and St Patrick’s Church built in the Victorian Gothic style are the only extant examples of this type in the Perth Archdiocese. 2. It forms a significant religious cultural environment especially when the former convent was in operation located directly across the road. 3. It reflects the growth and development of the local parish of York. 4. Makes a significant contribution to the historic streetscape, townscape and character of York in complementing and enhancing the historic fabric of York.
Presbytery stands behind and to the side of the Church. Church Hall stands in the corner of the block in South Street with the railway line behind. The Church dominates the corner of South and Howick Streets and is surrounded by landscaping.
Foundation stone was laid for the original Church in 1887 by Bishop Gibney. Ceiling work was done by a Mr Prunster from Austria. Italian craftsmen added the stone porch in 1950.
