In Milton's East Milton village, along Adams Street, is Saint Agatha's Parish, which has frieze art around the front entrance and up the bell tower.
The church is located on the north side of the intersection of Adams Street and Brook Road.
It is a stone church with a bell tower on front, which has an entrance at its base. Frieze art appears at the door and all the way to the top of the tower.
The doors themselves are plain wooden doors, darkly colored, with square patterns. Above the doors is a relief of Mary with the infant Jesus, flanked by angels with wings. Above them are arcs that end at a sharp point. At the base of the arcs are reliefs of faces. Above the door is a full relief of Christ Jesus on a cross, with other designs around and behind it. Above the crucifix is the bell tower opening, which has some details near the top. At the top of the tower are spires at each corner and a plain cross, with other designs connecting them together. Along the corners are stepped designs.
The church was started in 1922, when the basement was completed. The upper part of the church was completed in 1935, which is probably when the frieze art was completed.
