Coming Tomorrow

Both old and new St. Michael, in Findlay, and Holy Family in North Baltimore.

New St. Michael's, Findlay

The blighter posed for me in the port cochere. Don't know if he's a member of the congregation, but he acted like he owns the place.

An Earlier Work

Pictured above is St. Agnes church in Cleveland, designed by John T. Comes, the architect of Toledo’s Rosary Cathedral. Artist Felix Lieftuchter, who painted the mural above the altar at Rosary Cathedral, also painted the apse in St. Agnes. The church was dedicated in 1916, then torn down (except for the tower) in 1975.

St. Joseph, Marblehead

St. Patrick. Elmore

A while back, Kevin brought this one to my attention. Finally got a chance to have a look, then I ended up too busy elsewhere to bother posting.
St. Patrick's was built 1888-1889 and closed in 1907.
It was turned to face Congress Street and converted to a house. There are two pointed arch windows on the porch.
