Wembley, WA - Our Lady of Victory Catholic

History and Architecture:

Substantial brick and tile church demonstrating the post-war ecclesiastical architectural style. The building is principally of cruciform plan form with the main body of the church extending on a north-south axis and gabled wings to the east and west elevations. Additional flat roof single storey accommodation of a more utilitarian design extends around the church on the east and north sides and to the rear of the west wing, although the principal design features of the main body of the church have been followed in these single storey sections the windows are smaller and the plinth is rendered.

To the south of the west wing a double height area forms the main entrance into the church with large multi-paned window above the doorway. The bell tower is a tall narrow square tower with little adornment.

The church is predominantly of brick construction with polychromatic patterned brickwork. The Builders of the Church were Hartnett & Horner.
