Mount Carmel Convent, Heritage listed religious site in Wynnum, Australia.
Mount Carmel Convent stands as a two-story brick structure with wide verandahs and balconies extending around the main block at 199 Bay Terrace.
The Sisters of Mercy started visiting Wynnum in 1903 to teach local children, leading to the convent's construction in 1915 by William Richard Juster.
The design by Hall and Dods incorporates architectural elements including cast iron balustrades, leadlight windows, and pressed metal ceilings from the early 1900s.
The former convent now functions as a residence and bed-and-breakfast accommodation after its sale in 2011 for 1.6 million Australian dollars.
The building's chapel features original leadlight windows and connects to other sections through covered breezeways designed for subtropical climate adaptation.
