The place is a long-standing landmark in the district as a fine collection of buildings constructed at the end of the nineteenth and beginning of the twentieth that collectively form an important historic group of places that is visually complex and harmonious. The place provides important evidence of the development of the Perth and West Perth district, its class and religious demographic, and the development of Catholic primary and more latterly secondary education in the State. The place is an early example of the work of the Sisters of Mercy who came to Western Australia in the 1800s to educate and mission, and established convent schools in a number of suburban and regional areas in the late 1800s and into the 1900s. The place is valued by the local and wider Catholic community for its continuing associations with the Catholic Church in general and the Sisters of Mercy in particular. The principal buildings at the place were designed by prominent Western Australian architects: Parish Hall (original primary school building) designed by J J Talbot Hobbs; Convent and Church designed by Cavanagh and Cavanagh; and, Convent School designed by R Dennehy.
Church Hall constructed in the nineteenth century with facade dating from 1922. Two tone Flemish bond brickwork and iron gabled roof to main body of the hall.
St. Brigid's Parish Hall was originally constructed as part of St. Brigid's School circa 1890. A new facade was added to the southern end in 1922 with a rendered sign attached. Facade matches the detail of the two-storey school building constructed at the same time. Northbridge is an inner suburban area, named because it is just north of Perth across the railway bridge. It was approved as a suburb name in 1982.
Low level of integrity. Medium level of authenticity. Altered in 1922 (new facade).
