Santa Casa, 33-35 Flinders Street, Queenscliff

Santa Casa is of historical and architectural significance to the Borough of Queenscliffe. Historically, it is significant as a large ecclesiastical institutional building which has been a focus of activity for the Borough's Catholic community for over a century, with a long association with the Sisters of Mercy. It also remains in the hands of its original owners, and is still substantively used for its original purpose. Santa Casa is also the earliest surviving building to be used as an institutional seaside rest home in Queenscliff that is still in use. Architecturally, while relatively undistinguished, it is nevertheless a substantial and imposing structure on a large landholding, located prominently at the entrance to the Queenscliff peninsula.
