Black and white 3 1/2"h x 3 1/2"w photo of St. Francis Xavier Church at Newtown. This view is of the long side of the sanctuary. There is a three sided vestibule with a pyramid roof. The bell tower is just behind the point of the vestibule roof. The tower is four sided with a pyramid roof. There is a louvred arch where the bell would be, so it is not visible. The tower is topped with a sphere and a cross. The vestibule is two stories tall with a three over three double hung window in the two visible faces of the second floor. There is an etched? leaded glass? window next to the door on the first floor. The double door is very plain and only two steps above the ground. There is a light on a pole to guide worshippers to the entrance. The sanctuary has a gable roof with the bell tower on the peak at the entry, a small metal chimney about halfway down the length of the peak and an outside end chimney at the opposite gable end. There is scaffolding on the right side of the sanctuary because the church is getting a new roof. There appears to be a roof over at the opposite gable end. There is a wire fence around the whole building.
