Description
Saint Patricks Catholic Church is a photograph captured on a sunny day from the Yerba Buena Gardens park across from this historic church on Mission Street in San Francisco. Every time I see this view I am struck by the contrast of the old and new architecture.
The church was founded in 1851 at a different location and served the Irish community. As the congregation grew, a larger church was built on this location in 1871, but was destroyed by the 1906 earthquake and was rebuilt. The church now serves a diverse congregation and the Gothic revival style building was made a historic landmark in 1968.
