Description

Water color by Father Stephen Tushak of Bushwood Manor Chapel. It is a summer scene. The rectangular building appears to be of light colored brick and has a brown roof. At the narrow end of the building are two brown doors, each flanked by full length green shutters and capped by individual triangular pediments. A cross sits on a ball at the peak of each pediment. Above each door is a window, five rectangular lights high, capped with a round arch with six lights. These windows also have shutters. In the peak of this face is a round window with two concentric circles and radii--something like a target. The bell-tower is above, with round arch louvres on four sides. The belfry's roof may be copper. On top of that roof is another support holding two balls which elevates the cross. There is an indication of some decorative cornice work all around the building. On the long side of the building are five windows, each double hung nine by nine lights. All the windows have green shutters and the windows at each end have the shutters closed. Several gravestones are visible on the grounds. A drive or pathway travels in front of the church and there are paths to each front door.
