The Grand Blvd. Temple.
This looks like a postcard!
St. John's Church on Gratiot.
Older than DIRT!
Another angle of St. John's Church.
How old is dirt?
St. Joseph Church on Gratiot. My dad was an altar boy here and went to school here!
They levelled the school in the '60's!
St. Ladislaus Church on Caniff in Hamtramck.
This is the newer one!
Our Lady Queen of Apostles Church on Conant in Hamtramck.
The Jacobrowski's go to church here!
The front door of Our Lady. Hamtramck, being a city of 2.2 sq. miles, sure has its share of large buildings.
Hamtown has some nice churches!
The older Our Lady Queen of Apostles Church in Hamtramck, right next door to the new one.
What is it used for now?
Two angles of Immaculate Conception Church in Hamtramck.
this church is not so Immaculate any more...

...it needs a good steam cleaning
Transfiguration Church near McNichols and Mound Rd.
Amazingly well maintained...!
Another angle of Transfiguration Church.
...now about the surrounding area!
Our Lady Queen of Heaven Church in Nortown.
Nortown WAS a decent area...
Another shot of Our Lady Queen of Heaven.
...about 25 years ago!
The ultra modern plastic and concrete St. Clement Church on Van Dyke in Centerline. If you look closely, you can see the historical marker.
The Jetsons used to go to church here!!!
Another angle of St. Clement Church.
It was too modern looking for them!!!
A very bland church on Yemans in Hamtramck.






It reminded me of my Grandma's house in Nortown
YYYEEEEEECCCCCHHHHHH!!!

Sold for 17 grand!?!
Speaking of Nortown, here's the Serbian Church (I forgot the official name of it) on Van Dyke & Outer Drive, right behind Serbian Hall. I remember watching them build this church from my Grandma's front porch in the 60's.

I was born at Holy Cross Hospital (now called St. John's) which is pictured on the left.

It looks a lot older than it is!
The former St. Stanislaus Church is now called 'The Promised Land'. For interior pix of Promised Land, click here.
St. Stan's
The former St. Stanislaus School has been converted into the 'Detroit Academy of Arts and Sciences'. Well done!
Nice restoration job!!!
New life for a virtually dead neighborhood. It looks like it got a steambath; looks like new!!
Boy, did they clean this place up!
Right around the corner from St. Stans is the Grand Trunk Warehouse Cold Storage building.
This is one huge fridge!!
Sweetest Heart of Mary Church. What's up with the tarp?
Under Construction!!!
Sweetest Heart of Mary appears to be getting a little TLC.
This church is over 110 years old!!!
Sweetest Heart of Mary also has an Historical Marker. For interior pix of Sweetest Heart, click here.
Historical designation
St. Albertus Church on St. Aubin. The roof appears to be constructed entirely of copper.
Nice copper roof!
The front door of St. Albertus Church. For interior pix of St Al's, click here.
Needs a little work!
