Church of the Sacred Heart

Location

Built in 1927-28, the Roman Catholic Church of the Sacred Heart, also popularly known as Viceroy's Church, was designed by Henry Medd and represents one of his more ambitious projects. This Church displays a strong Italianate influence, with a facade of white pillars, which support a canopy placed against a dark brick background. There are circular arcaded turrets that rise above the roof on each side of the entrance porch. The interiors are fabulous with a towering curved roof, polished stone floors and broad arches laid down into smooth walls that creates a magnificent grandiose look.
