St. Casimir's Catholic Church (old)

St. Casimir's Catholic Church peeks out from above the residential streets in this undated photo.

St. Casimir's on 23rd Street, just south of where its smaller replacement was built.

St. Casimir's iconic dome was seen from blocks around as the tallest structure in the neighborhood for years.

St. Casimir's was a neighborhood landmark among mostly small homes.

Scaffolding surrounds the church's towers, likely during the church's construction.
