St Mary's Catholic Church & Hall |
| Registered Name |
Religious Building - St Mary's Church and Hall |
| Significance |
Historically, the Church/Hall complex is of State and national significance as the site of one of the earliest schools in Australia operated by the Sisters of St Joseph, which arose as a result of a very early scheme of Catholic education devised by the Reverend Julian Tenison Woods, well known priest, scientist and educator. The original church (and possibly also the additions) was designed by G S Kingston. ('Port Adelaide Centre Heritage Survey', 1993)
St Mary's Hall, the former school of 1869, is a minor work of the firm of Wright, Woods and Hamilton, but is significant for the early documented use of cavity wall construction in South Australia. (SHB Assessment Report 1984) |
