Appraisal
This Roman Catholic presbytery is impressive in its scale and form. Although some original features have been replaced, its typical late-nineteenth century design is architecturally appealing. Elements including the canted-bay window and U-plan roof give this house character. The presbytery is part of a group of ecclesiastical structures including St. Clare's Church to the south-east.
