OUR LADY HELP OF CHRISTIANS CATHOLIC CHURCH - Physical Description 1
The church is designed in the Neo-Romanesque style and built in 1917. The same architects, C.G.Kempson and W.P.Connolly were responsible for the Presentation Convent in Pohlman Street built the church at 59 Ebden Street. There are stylistic similarities with the design of both buildings.
Features of the Romanesque Revival include the use of red brick and stucco and the use of semi-circular arches that are often concentric and resting inside one another. Another feature of the Neo-Romanesque style is the solid panel semi-circular arch above the entrance door. In the case of Our Lady's this is evident over the side door.
The nave windows have semi-circular arches subdivided into three. The side door has a circular motif in dressed stone, however the window detailing is of cast concrete in a stylised and standardised design that is both traditional and strikingly modern. The window to the front gable is also quite unusual with a tall arch window in the middle flanked by smaller arches either side.
The church is designed with pinnacles at the front corners constructed in moulded bricks and capped with stucco domes, in a simplified version of the brick Baroque style.
