Our Lady of Good Counsel, Deepdene

I saw a lot of churches on my recent trip to Montreal which no doubt will make an appearance here at some time in the future but today I thought I'd stay closer to home.

This is Our Lady of Good Counsel in the Melbourne suburb of Deepdene.

According to Robin Grow in his book Melbourne Art Deco, it was designed by Lionel San Miguel and constructed after WWII.

I like the way that simple decoration has been incorporated using partially projected or recessed bricks and the contrast between the cream bricks and the white of the cross and the decoration on the roofline.
