• The place has aesthetic value as a freeform Late Twentieth Century Organic style of church building.
• The belltower, the unique design, and materials of the church all contribute to giving the place landmark value within the streetscape.
• The place was erected to serve the Doubleview Roman Catholic parish. The growth of the parish was impacted by the increased settlement and development of the area by the State Housing Commission in the Post World War Two era.
• The place has associations with the State Housing Commission.
This Late Twentieth Century Organic style Church derives its main form from its random ashlar stone walls which are curved in two planes. The walls are symmetrical at the central entrance and rise approximately 15 – 20 metres to form the bell tower which is vented by concrete blocks. The entrance doors to the church are copper. The roof is not visible from the street.
The church appears to have been constructed in the 1960s and 1970s as part of a larger complex of Catholic Church buildings. These include a Dominican Convent and care facility and the Holy Rosary Primary School on Williamstown Street. The Our Lady of the Holy Rosary Church was erected to serve the Doubleview parish. The area of Doubleview was developed in the Post World War Two period by the State Housing Commission. The church was reroofed in 1993.
