Bas-relief, Bell tower, Byzantine, Byzantium, campanile, Catholic, church, column, dome, John Cyril Hawes, Monsignor Hawes, Mullewa, Our Lady of Mt Carmel and Sts Peter and Paul, Romanesque, sculpture, semi-circular arch, WA, Western Australia
The church of Our Lady of Mt Carmel and Sts Peter and Paul is in the small rural Western Australian town of Mullewa. The church was built between 1920 and 1927 to the design of Monsignor John Cyril Hawes, who was the priest at Mullewa. His design for the church changed following a study tour to France, Spain and Italy in 1923, and Hawes stated that the style was inspired by twelfth-century churches found in southern France. The exterior of the church is in Romanesque style with possible Byzantine influence on the two domes. It features a bell tower (campanile), semi-circular arched windows, columns, and bas-relief sculpture.
For more on the architecture of Monsignor Hawes see John J. Taylor, Between Devotion and Design: The Architecture of John Cyril Hawes 1876-1956 (University of Western Australia Press, Nedlands, 2000).

Baptist Tabernacle church, Perth, Tasmania
Baptist, Baptist Tabernacle, Byzantine, Byzantium, church, dome, George Fagg, William Gibson, Perth, Tas, Tasmania
<p>One of three photographs of the Baptist Tabernacle church in Clarence Street, Perth, Tasmania. The church was designed by English architect George Fagg and built in 1889 by William Gibson. The church is said to have Indian influence, but Byzantine (Byzantium, or the Eastern Roman Empire, was centred on Constantinople/Istanbul and endured until 1453) influence can also be discerned. In particular, the church is octagonal, unlike the cruciform design of most west European churches. This photograph shows the brickwork and two arched windows within a larger arch.</p>

A photograph of the Government Geology building/former Library, now a wing of the Western Australian Museum – Perth. The building was completed in 1902 and was designed by Government architect John Grainger. It was built to blend in with the Jubilee Building built by Grainger’s predecessor George Temple-Poole. As can be seen in this photograph, the building originally housed the State Library and the Government Geologist. The former Library building was built in brick and stone, including stone left over from the Jubilee Building. It is in the Victorian Byzantine/Romanesque style with arched windows.
