Statement of Significance Originally titled “Llanello”, the house and grounds of Croagh Patrick form an aesthetically and historically significant part of the townscape of Bowen. The house was built by Edwin Lane in 1883 to the design of John Hale, who also designed Wolaroi. By 1914 the house was in the possession of the Catholic Church and from 1929 was run as an orphanage under the name “Croagh Patrick”. Croagh Patrick has social significance for its role over many decades as an orphanage. Croagh Patrick is now occupied by OCTEC, a community based education and training facility.
A circular garden ringed by the driveway provides a formal setting for the main house building
