Roman Catholic Church, West Maitland, New South Wales, Australia



 

Notes:
Opposite, on the corner with Cathedral St, is St John's. Built in 1922 as a Catholic Hall it became a Pro Cathedral in 1933 but has been closed since being severely damaged by the 1989 earthquake. Further down Cathedral St are the imposing Italianate Bishop's residence and old St John's, a Gothic Revival design by Mortimer Lewis. Initially a humble church it was built between 1844 and 1846 but was extended and upgraded to cathedral status in 1866 as the town grew. It closed when the Pro Cathedral opened in 1933, became the parish hall then, after the earthquake, became, once again, the cathedral. Its most distinctive feature is the tower capped with merlons and finials.
