Description
Mullawa, Western Australia
Next to the church of Church of our Lady of Mt Carmel and the Holy Apostles St Peter and St Paul, is The Priest House which is open to the public from 10.00-11.45 and 1.30-3.00 Monday to Friday. It was completed in 1927 and is now a museum. It houses a lot of Hawes' memorabilia including a plaster bust he made as an arts student and a cup he won at the races in Yalgoo.
Next to the church is The Priest House, now known as the Priesthouse Museum, which is run by parish volunteers. It was completed in 1930 and ready to be used as a presbytery. It is now a museum. It is a unusual and charming building in a low cottage style with red cordoba tiles, an inglenook fireplace, half-panelled walls, latticed bow windows with box seats.
The large green door to the east of the building when entered one can read the inscription in latin ‘ Janus Patet Cor Magis’ which when translated means ‘ The door opens wide but my heart more so’. The furniture was designed by Hawes and built in Perth. It has a collection of Hawes' memorabilia including a plaster bust of Donatello's Laughing Boy which he made as an arts student and a cup he won at the races in Yalgoo.
