Description
Photograph of an exterior view of the Church of the Angels, ca.1920. The stone building has a tall, pointed steeple with a cross on top. What appears to be a clock is visible on the side of the steeple, while an arch can be seen at left. Foliage can be seen in front of the building, while a pond can be seen in the foreground. Tall trees tower above the church in the background and at right. Originally built in 1889 for Mrs. Alexander Campbell-Johnston in memory of her late husband. It was designed by Architect Ernest Coxhead and was built in a style reminiscent of a church that Mrs. Campbell-Johnston remembered from her native Scotland.
