Sepia tone 7 1/2"h x 9 3/8"w photo on board of St. Aloysius Church as it was in 1880. In this photo, taken from across the road, the church is obscured by trees. It appears to be a substantial building with a very large spire. The six sided spire is shingled in alternating bands of color and is topped with a cross. The cupola for the bell has fairly elaborate gingerbread. The decoration at the eaves has an Italianate flavor. The windows are very tall and narrow, twelve over twelve lights with a round arch at the top. There is one window on each side of the entrance and possibly five windows on the long side. The is a five bar fence across the front of the yard, probably a parking lot on the left and another fence on the far side of the lot. The fence is broken on the right side of the church to leave space for a short metal pole. There is some sort of light fixture next to the fence that may be in line with the entrance to the church.

Text on a paper strip: "St. Aloysius Church, established about 1880 in Leonardtown. The old bell tower was long a landmark in the area. It was declared structurally unsafe several years ago, and a new church was built. This building was then torn down."Collection
