This is St. Paul Catholic Church in Grosse Pointe Farms just north of Detroit. It's on Lakeshore, which becomes Jefferson in Detroit, right on Lake St. Clair. Note that it was designed by Detroit architect Harry J. Rill.
Biker Buddy and I went for a walk last night in Grosse Pointe Farms in a snowstorm. We took the tripod and camera And stood in the snow with the snow falling on the camera taking long time exposures. The falling snow does not show because of the long exposures.
The first two are of the Grosse Pointe Farms Municipal Waterworks, and then two nearby churches. The second one is St. Paul Evangelical Lutheran Church. I've misplaced the name of the first but will add it later if I find it. All three buildings are located on Chalfonte, which is one long block from the border of Detroit (Mack). The municipal building is on Chalfonte and Kerby. Click images to view a little larger. (They also look sharper when you click on them.)
On the map below, the push pin marks the municipal building and the arrow marks where the two churches are located, just off the bottom of the map. The yellowish area on the left is Detroit, so you can see these buildings are quite close to Detroit. Click map to view it a little larger.
See a couple more shots from last night here and here. (Front view of first church and trees around municipal building.)A City Photoblog about the city of Detroit. All photos, art and writing by Mary Stebbins Taitt unless otherwise noted.
