St Aloysius Convent of Mercy classrooms and girls dormitory (fmr) is located on Stirling Terrace in Toodyay, Western Australia. This building is a part of the complex built by the Sisters of Mercy to provide accommodation and a school.[1]
This single storey building was constructed by William Thomas Clark who tendered £4,444 for the job in 1928. The architect was Mr. Edgar Le B. Henderson of Perth.[2] It accommodated 35 girls and was strong enough to carry another storey if required. The building was opened by Patrick Clune, Lord Archbishop of Perth, on 12 May 1929.[3] As well as providing accommodation for the girl boarders along with a night study area and rooms for the sisters in charge,[2] the premises were used annually for the Convent Ball.[1]
The building is constructed of red brick and red corrugated iron. It has decorative cement render and timber framed windows.[1]
