Marrickville, St Brigid's Catholic Church

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.

  2. The shadow is almost dwarfed by the impressive building and blue sky. I had to look for it.

  8. 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!

    1. BLOGitse, that comment option isn't available. I have it set to "Registered Users". The only other options are "User with Google Accounts" and "Only members of this blog" which would be more restrictive. Unfortunately setting it to "Anyone" can no longer be an option since spammers can flood the blog with spam that way.
