MITCHELLS PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH Built in 1879, this Gothic Revival church stands two miles south of this location. It contains an elaborate example of trompe-l'oeil fresco painting done in 1888. Joseph Dominick Phillip Oddenino, an Italian immigrant artist, painted to deceive the eye into believing that his plaster murals of Gothic arches, Renaissance-styled cornices, and embellished Corinthian columns were three dimensional. The ceiling is decorated with geometric designs. Department of Conservation and Historic Resources, 1985
