Summary

[On back of photograph] 'St. Patrick's Church, Grote Street / Acres 319 & 319 / March 1914 / (Photo by Krischock) / Frontage: 23 yards / Right side is 17 yards west of Burton Avenue. Left side is 133 yards east of West Terrace.' [General description] A priest can be seen standing inside the doorway of this newly completed church, seen in three quarter view. Outside a woman tends to a baby in a large perambulator. Designed by Woods Bagot the church was dedicated on 15 March, 1914. It was said to be inspired by the Church of the Holy Spirit in Florence and the design, based on a basilica, originally included a sacristy and dome. However a combination of insufficient funds and the outbreak of World War 1meant that the project remained unfinished.
