The French Marist Fathers, missionaries requiring a base for their operations in the Pacific, bought a house and 18 acres of land at Tarban Creek in 1847 and named it Villa Maria. Villa Maria Church (Mary Street) was designed by the Marist Fathers and built in 1867-71. It resembles churches around Lyon, France, where the Marists originated -- Reference: Hunter's Hill, Australia's oldest garden suburb / Beverley Sherry, photographs by Douglass Baglin.
