Summary

Detailed watercolour painting of Saint Michael's Church in Mitcham. Note on verso reads 'artwork published in The Chronicle, January 30, 1947'. This church is one of the oldest in Adelaide. It is constructed of stone from a local quarry and has an imposing tower. It is set in large grounds. River Red gums can be seen to the right of the church. Later it was found that the church was too small so the southern part was remodelled to create an almost square church
