Intriguingly,
the architecture of some churches reflects the
period in which they were built, whilst others
recall the styles of earlier times.
St. Dominic's – Flemington, 1955
A striking
design by architects Curtin & Cameron.
St.
Brigid's
– Marrickville, 1921
A
very elegant
building with more than a touch of Spanish
Mission about it. Possibly designed by John Barlow,
editor of Art
and Architecture.
St. Peter Julian's – Haymarket , 1964
By architect Terrence Daly. Unfortunately, recent remodelling
has diminished the qualities of the original
1960s interior. Despite this, it remains worth a visit.
St.
Agatha's
– Pennant
Hills, 1982
 Mosman
Uniting Church, 1937
Designed by W.N. McPherson. Some finely detailed
Art Deco influences. Corner of Belmont and Cowles Roads,
Mosman.
St Kevin's – Dee Why, 1961
An adventurous yet very pleasing design by architects
Gibbons & Gibbons. An example of concrete formed into
unusual
shapes.
