St Brigid's Catholic Church is located on the corner of Marrickville Road and Livingstone Road, in the inner west suburb of Marrickville. This heritage listed church was designed by John Bede Barlow and competed in 1936 in the Inter-War Spanish Mission architectural style.
The church is beautiful - cool seeing this Spanish mission style in Oz, as I envision this to be in the American southwest instead. Yet, sacred style can be found the world wide. Nice find!
