Holy Name of Jesus in Brooklyn, NY

This church had an incredible restoration recently.  After Vatican II, this gorgeous church was gutted and the most hideous renovation occurred.   Since this blog is dedicated to beauty, that wreck-o-vation will not be shown.  Tomorrow I will post what it originally looked like in the 1950's.  This restoration, while lovely,  is nothing compared to what it once was.
