Etching of Old St. Mary's, Toledo

Happened to see on eBay, an etching of the Old St. Mary's Church in downtown Toledo by artist Morris Henry Hobbs. Hobbs lived in Toledo for a time after World War I, but is more widely known for his prints of the French Quarter in New Orleans.

Cross Tipped Churches Trip: St. Louis, North Star

 I made another trip back to the area to get the churches I didn't photograph. The first I stopped at was St. Louis in North Star.

Its weird because the area around the altar seems like a modern design, but the church still has historical altars.

The main altar has this interesting gate and arch around it. 

Immaculate Conception, Marygrove

Pots of Gold in Sandusky?

Great photo of a double rainbow over Sandusky at Destination Sandusky. One end is St. Mary parish, and Sts. Peter & Paul is at the other end. Click HERE.

St. Mary, Marion

 Was on my way to Columbus and stopped in Marion to take photos of St. Mary. For some reason, I took no exterior photos.

They recently went through a renovation, which added the 2 side altars. I have to say, looks much better.

The balcony was unfortunately locked, but it looks pretty empty except for the organ.

St. Mary, Columbus

 I was in Columbus for an event and decided to stop by St. Mary to take photos. I was not disappointed.

The church is located just south of downtown in a German neighborhood. This was a very good neighborhood. They only way I was able to enter was because Mass was over.

Probably one of the best interiors I've been inside.

The ceiling and walls were covered with paint details.
