Reverend Matthew Gibney, the Lord Bishop of Perth, laid the foundation stone of this building in July 1903. [1] Gibney returned for the official opening ceremony in September of the same year.

The building is an imposing two storey red brick structure with red corrugated iron roof. Rendered bands extend around the building and along the window sills. There are gabled wings to each end, with half timbering creating a symmetrical façade. There is a two-storey panelled side extension joining the building to the current St John the Baptist Church.
