Before 1950

This structure stands out significantly; perhaps because of the area it is located. This Church is right of an important intersection between Woodhaven Boulevard and Rockaway Boulevard. However the structure itself is rather very particular. With more than 100 years old this church stands intact. Unlike most catholic churches, which follow more of gothic structure (long and sharply pointy), this church resembles more of a castle structure. The building itself as a whole, is made out of bricks. They can be easily seen and I hope this picture shows them as well. The color of this church is more of a orange/brown color.

In the picture above, we see to the left a separated long tower. This is where the giant bell is kept at, at the very top of this tower. An enormous dark colored cross is encrypted on its front wall, which can be seen from a very far distance. This large long tower I’m sure that makes a lot of people wonder if at its very top there is a princess waiting to be saved.

This church is indeed decorated in a very detailed manner. At its front there are three large dark glass windows. One of them being bigger than the other two, lies in the center. Below these windows there are three small white sculptures, represented either a saint or Virgin Mary. This church consists of only two entrances. Instead of there being a main one located in the center, this church has two very welcoming entrees to the side. To provide a delicate detail and follow every church typical makeup , at the very top of the church there is a high, slim white cross.
