Tacony, St. Leo the Great Catholic Church, Located at northern end of block bounded by Tulip & Keystone Streets, & Magee & Unruh Avenues, Philadelphia, Philadelphia County, PA

Significance: As the first "standard" Roman Catholic parish in Tacony, St. Leo the Great remains an important and viable community landmark, both physically and institutionally. The parish buildings include an ideal core necessary for the operation of a neighborhood parish: sanctuary, rectory, convent, and school. Most of these structures are sited on a high-profile location, facing Disston Park to the east across Keystone Street.
