Mount St Mary's Convent, Heritage convent in Toowong, Australia
Mount St Mary's Convent occupies 1.23 hectares of land at Grove Street, featuring wide verandahs and 15-foot-high walls constructed with greenstone and quartz mixture.
The Sisters of Mercy acquired the property in 1902 and transformed it from Goldicott residence into Mount St Mary's Convent to support their educational mission.
The convent provided music and speech lessons to local students while functioning as a central institution for Catholic education in the Toowong parish.
The building underwent major refurbishment in 1992, revealing historical elements such as a hand-painted mural in the entrance hall beneath layers of wallpaper.
This structure stands as the first poured concrete house built in Brisbane, using an innovative construction method patented by engineer Charles Lambert Depree.
