The former St Patrick's Church, Brandon is a single-storey timber building built in the Victorian Carpenter Gothic style.The former church is set on low stumps and has a steeply pitched gable roof clad in corrugated iron. The front of the church is symmetrical with a central entry porch flanked by single lancet windows. The projecting gables have fretted brackets to the eaves. The side walls of the former nave are supported by timber buttresses. The tall casement windows, doors and archways have pointed arched heads.
The Church was erected to replace a previous Church, constructed in 1897 which was destroyed by cyclone Leonta in 1903.
It ceased to be used by the Church in 1974 and following severely damaged by cyclone Aivu in 1989 was moved to its present site by the Shire Council.
