St Joseph's Presbytery - Physical Description 1
The Presbytery is an Italianate style two-storey building of Flemish bond red brick construction with a return cast-iron verandah with an elegant concave verandah roof . The hipped slate roofs have bracketed eaves and terracotta ridge cresting and finials. The segmented-arched double-hung sash windows are arranged in pairs and have bluestone sills and cream brick voussoirs. The unusual aspect of the main roofis the terracotta finial and ridge decoration which typifies a later period (c1900-15). The tall red brick chimneys have rendered caps and terracotta pots. The front fence, probably originally timber picket, has been removed and concrete paving added.
