St Clare’s Church was built and opened in 1927, and Tully became a separate parish in 1935. A community of Good Samaritan Sisters arrived in Tully in January 1928 in response to an appeal by Father Clancy and the Catholics of Tully. They opened a school on 3 February 1928 with an enrolment of 35 pupils, but by April this enrolment had risen to 75 pupils. The first classes were held in the church and in an old cottage which was modified for use as a school. On 10 December 1933, the foundation stone for St Clare’s School was laid. The first building consisted of three classrooms and was opened in 1934. The Good Samaritan Sisters finally closed their doors and departed from Tully in 1995, although our admiration for their contribution to this school, lives on. St Clare’s School is now staffed totally by lay teachers (not a member of a religious order) and ancillary staff. In 2011 Cyclone Yasi caused some damage to the school buildings and grounds of St Clare’s. Repairs were carried out and ongoing refurbishment continues, the most recent of which was last year.

St Patrick's Cathedral is a dominant Victorian Gothic church built from basalt and located on James Street, Toowoomba. It was designed by James Marks for the then Catholic Toowoomba Mission and was built between 1883 and 1889.[2] The Cathedral is a fine example of the Victorian Gothic architectural style, the distinguishing elements of which include steeply pitched roofs, buttresses, pinnacles, tracery and pointed arches. Also included in the Queensland Heritage Register's entry is the Presbytery, with walls of face brick and a tiled roof, which is sited on the eastern side of the Cathedral building.[2] St Patrick's is cruciform in plan, and almost 61 meters (200 ft) long and 31 meters (102 ft) wide. The main gabled roof contains the nave and features a stone cross at its apex of the front gable parapet. It intersects with the gabled roofs over each transept. All are steeply pitched. The Cathedral's stonework is "hammer dressed square rubble". A brick chimneystack protrudes through the roof at the western end of the building. One large, timber-battened gable end projects off the main roof at the east end of the southern facade. At the west end of this facade, the roof is hipped. The gable end projecting east is clad in chamfer boards. Space only 4 meters (13 ft) wide at its narrowest separates the Presbytery from a recently constructed brick Parish Centre to the south. St Patrick's was originally a modest timber church but following its destruction in 1883 by fire, work began on St Patrick's Cathedral. The building of the Cathedral was an indication of the emerging importance and institutional presence of the Roman Catholic Church in the Darling Downs region, and the development of St Patrick's following the creation of the Diocese of Toowoomba in 1929 reaffirmed the permanency and strength of Catholicism in the region.[2] Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_Patrick%27s_Cathedral,_Toowoomba

Old Stone House – Then and Now (100+ years later)

The placement of the stairs was changed (c.1935) ... but little else.

The top floor, with a brick exterior, was added in 1767, along with a wing to the rear of the house.
