Description
The College Building, located approximately 25 meters south-west of Mount St Joseph's College, is a professor's residence that now serves as part of St Joseph's College. It was built between 1867 and 1868, likely by the architectural firm Wilson and Wilcox of Bath, for the Wesleyan College. The structure features coursed squared stone with ashlar dressings and has a slate roof. It is two storeys high with two bays, where the right bay is gabled and projects outward. The central entrance is set within a single-storey lean-to glazed verandah. The right bay has paired four-pane sash windows, while the center has a single window. On the left side, there is a pitched roof service bay with a gabled and half-hipped roof, and a canted bay window on the ground floor to the right. The building also includes stone gutter brackets, gable copings, and a tall stack on the right. This building is one of a pair of professors' houses mentioned in the 1872 Directory. The interior has not been inspected.
