St Anne's Catholic Church

Archbishop James Duhig laid the foundation stone to this Catholic church in November 1934. He had begun to acquire land in the immediate vicinity from as early as 1931. The design by architects Hennessy, Hennessy and Co. was an adaption of the Spanish Mission style, and thought suitable for the Queensland climate. This brick and concrete church, 70ft in length and 30ft in breadth, and with a tiled roof, was constructed by Albion builder F Lee. The entrance porch and main features of the church were to be clad in Benedict-stone, and artificially produced stone work from a factory set up by Duhig. The church was consecrated and opened in May 1935, the 36th church opened by Duhig in his Archbishopric.
