A well maintained complete building representative of church buildings of the turn of the century. Connected with the early history of the State and the era's most influential catholic architects.
This building replaced and earlier timber framed, iron clad, unlined church from 1892. The current building was constructed in 1902. Designed in the gothic style typical for churches of all denominations at this time, it is a well built brick building with a simple auditory plan and a polygonal chancel, stucco dressings and corrugated iron roof. It is still in use.
The most substantial ecclesiastical building constructed at the height of Coolgardie's prosperity. Designed by Michael Cavanagh, a prominent Perth architect who practiced from 1895-1935. He designed many of the Catholic Church's buildings in W.A. at this time as well as many commercial, civic and residential buildings.
