St Aloysius Convent of Mercy classrooms and girls dormitory (fmr) is located on Stirling Terrace in Toodyay, Western Australia. This building is a part of the complex the Sisters of Mercy built to provide accommodation and a school.William Thomas Clark built the single storey building, tendering £4,444 for the job in 1928. Mr. Edgar Le B. Henderson of Perth was the architect.[1] It accommodated 35 girls and was strong enough to carry another storey if required. Patrick Clune, Lord Archbishop of Perth, opened the building on 12 May 1929.[2] As well as providing accommodation for the girl boarders along with a night study area and rooms for the sisters in charge,[1] the premises were used annually for the Convent Ball.
The building is constructed of red brick and red corrugated iron, and has decorative cement render and timber framed windows.
