St. Patrick's Roman Catholic Church, 724 Camp Street, New Orleans, Orleans Parish, LA

Significance: Saint Patrick's Roman Catholic Church was the sanctuary erected in 1838 in the section of New Orleans known as the Faubourgh Sainte Marie. This parish, established in 1833, was the second parish established in New Orleans, and the church was built to accommodate the rapidly increasing Irish population that flooded the city in this period. The Gothic Revival church has been an architectural landmark in the city for over a century, and a great number of important and influential local church dignitaries, such as Bishop Antoine Blanc, have played major roles in its development.
