This Gothic Revival church, dating to 1886, is one of the oldest Catholic parishes in the United States and offers rich architectural detail both inside and out. The red brick facade, pointed arches, and twin towers make for strong exterior compositions, especially from across the street where you can capture the full symmetry of the front elevation with a moderate wide-angle or standard zoom lens. Step inside and you will find stained glass windows, ornate columns, and a long nave that rewards a wider lens for dramatic leading lines toward the altar. Morning light hits the exterior facade well, while midday sun illuminates the stained glass from the outside, creating vivid color inside. The church sits in a quiet historic neighborhood, so weekday visits outside of service times give you the most unobstructed access to both the interior and exterior without crowds.
