Description: This is an image taken at New Norcia Mission in October, 1986. It shows the building known as St Mary's, which housed Aboriginal boys who had been placed at the Mission. The photo shows St Mary's as a long, single-storey stone and brick building, painted red with white windows, doors, and foundations. The building looks to have been built in several phases, with different roof-lines in different sections. This photo is part of a collection of 14 photographs taken by Betty Smith at New Norcia in October 1986.
