Bagot also designed the highly regarded chapel for the Convent of Mercy, Angas Street, Adelaide in 1920 which incorporated an existing house on the site and unified a complex of buildings. ‘[R]ichly detailed surfaces and finishes render this particular building unique in Adelaide. The chapel is remarkable for its excellence of design and workmanship … The design being perhaps the finest to come from the hand of Walter Hervey Bagot’ (Marsden, Stark and Sumerling 1990, p.203).
