Little Flower, Toledo

This really isn't bad at all, on the outside. Doesn't look like a dentist's office, and there's enough detailing to make it interesting.
I'll deal with the interior tomorrow.
By the way, does anyone know why it's not called St. Therese?

She was known as the "Little Flower of Jesus." I don't know for sure why they originally decided to go with that, but the name just stuck.

I know she's called that, but it's odd to call a church by a saint's nickname.

If their history page is any indication, they used that name from the get-go. I don't know why they decided on that. Something else I'd like to find on that someday when I'm rifling their historic archives ...
