The Dominican Priory building was built as a single storey limestone rubble structure by William Criddle in 1881. In 1902 the Dominican Sisters purchased the building, added the second storey and renamed the building St. Dominic's Priory. The large school building to the west was opened in 1926. The school operated until 1971, when a flood from the Irwin River destroyed the tennis courts, school playground and inundated the building with mud. In the mid 1980's new owners renovated the building and the hotel licence was restored as The Priory Lodge.
