St Columba's Convent, Dalby, Heritage-listed religious building in Dalby, Australia.
The brick and timber convent at 169 Cunningham Street features a triple-gabled façade, stained glass windows, and wide timber verandahs with cast iron decorations.
Local architect George Bernard Roskell designed the convent in 1913 for the Sisters of Mercy, who operated the facility until 1990 as accommodation for nuns and students.
The convent represents early Catholic education in Queensland, with the Sisters of Mercy establishing their eleventh school known as St Columba's to serve regional communities.
The H-shaped building contains multiple functional spaces including a chapel, refectory, and dormitory areas spread across two wings connected by a central structure.
The property spans 2.7 hectares and includes a brick pavilion with a crucifix statue, a Virgin Mary grotto, and memorial plaques documenting Sisters of Mercy history.
