Saint Patrick’s – Wonthella Geraldton

St Patrick’s Former Church – Wonthella Geraldton

This building was designed in 1938 and built in 1939 and is one of Hawes’ simpler designs.   As it was only seen as a temporary measure until a more pretentious building becomes necessary,   it was a very simple construction to cater  for the community, educational and religious needs of about 60 people.

 Classes  for primary school children commenced in the building in 1940.

In 1964 a larger structure superseded the church however the building still stands.

Currently occupied by the Irish Club of Geraldton, St Patrick’s Hall is a very simple timber framed and iron clad building.
