This gorgeous red brick turreted Neo Gothic convent for the Sisters of Mercy was built in 1903. The last sister left the convent in 2001, at which time the old convent was converted for use by the Immaculate Conception parish.
The convent used to have an associated school also named St. Anne's, which was torn down in the 1970s.
