St. Columbia Catholic Church in Newark, NJ

The graceful, monumental Renaissance Revival-style St. Columba's Church was designed by architect Charles Edwards of Paterson and constructed in 1897 for a prospering Irish-American parish in Newark's Lincoln Park neighborhood. The church and its attached rectory comprise an entire city block and serve as an important architectural landmark, especially because of the prominent tower and unique program of opalescent art glass windows. It reminds me of St. Aloysius in Jersey City
