St. Monica's Presbytery - Physical Description 1
A two-storey red tuck-pointed brick Italianate styled villa with cemented detail, a two-level return cast-iron verandah, with concave roof, and an M- hipped and slated main roof. Typical ecclesiastical elements included the gabled verandah-porch facing Whitehall Street (with apex cross) and mildly atypical elements such as the main ground level cement details (architraves and keystones) lend distinctive traits. These details support the late Victorian date of the house, as does the use of a fretted timber verandah frieze and the face red brickwork. Leadlight patterns to the front windows and door lights also indicate its age.
St. Monica's Presbytery - Integrity
External Integrity
The boundary timber picket fence has been removed, with a possibly original sheet-iron fence surviving along Hopkins Street. The verandah has been repainted a sympathetic maroon colour but intrusive plumbing vents and a partial enclosure of the verandah mars this.
