Saint Joseph's Roman Catholic Church

-A A +A
c. 1901. West side of Broadway between Court and Hale streets

The sharp contrast between the thin lines of the limestone trim and the brickwork of the walls comes close to conveying a sense of a drawing rather than an actual building. The references to the European High Gothic are loosely and inventively interpreted.
