The place is significant for it's association with the architect E le B Henderson, who was prevalent in the Inter-War Gothic style. The Sacred Heart Catholic Church was built by Robert Percival Easom. There is a plaque in front of the church displaying these details. The place demonstrates a rare example of it's architectural style for it's scale in WA.
Built with bricks from a Perth Brickmaker, the building cost 1365 pounds. Building is 81ft long and 42ft wide and has two short towers with battlements. The front as battlements as well. The predominant features of the place include the parapeted gable ends, the crenellation (battlement)to the marthex and towers, the high pitched roof, the pointed arch windows, the buttressing and the pointed entrance arches.
