Description Photograph of a photograph of St. Bartholomew's Church at the top of Macdonell St. To the left of the church is the rectory and to the right, the roofline of the convent is visible. In front of the church is a ramp and stone wall bordering Norfolk Street with steps leading up to the church behind the wall. Above the wall is an arbour made of cedar boughs with a cedar bough cross at the top. Draped across the arbour is a banner reading "Cead Mille Failte" which is an old Irish saying meaning "A Hundred Thousand Welcomes". To the right, in the foreground, is the Albion Hotel, with wrough iron balconies and right beside it are the liveries. Parked in front of the hotel is a buggie. On the left foreground is a stone building with several hitching posts in front.
