I've posted a similar photo of the St Paul Cathedral a few years ago, actually over four years ago. I was around the area again, photographing the surroundings, and couldn't pass the opportunity of this photo. Seeing the group of people, pointing and looking up at the facade, really made this one stand out too me.
Saint Agnes was built during the years 1909 to 1912. It is the third church built on this site since 1887, when Archbishop John Ireland founded the parish for German-speaking immigrants who settled in this part of Saint Paul.
