Exterior view showing the Romanesque-style Catholic church built in 1801 after the designs of Douglas Fitzmaurice Fagan at 260-262 North Fourth Street. Includes the tower built in 1829 after the designs of William Strickland. Several parishioners, including men, women, and children, congregate in small clusters on the sidewalk in front of the church. Also shows the adjacent church courtyard protected by a stone wall and surrounding buildings, including one with an awning. The congregation formed in 1796 under Father Matthew J.
