“Established in 1856, Holy Trinity was moved to this site in 1858. Five of it priest lost their lives treating the victims of the Yellow Fever Epidemic of 1873. The present church, in Romanesque Revival style, was built in 1896.”
This is a very picturesque building. Several years ago I saw it on a TV shot that was taken from above. Before I realized what and where it was I thought it was in some far off major city and not here in Shreveport.
