We continue our exploration of Forest Park Il. Moving out of Forest Lawn Cemetery and back to the land of the living. We go about half a mile east down Harrison where we ecounter St. Bernadine Catholic church. It's a beautiful old church with some nice architectural ornamentation.

Across the street we find a different sort of house of worship with the Ferrara Pan Candy factory and store. For those who seek their spiritual salvation through sweet treats this is Mecca. Since they moved out here from Taylor street in the 1950's the Atomic Fireballs, Red Hots, Lemon Heads, Jawbreakers and all their delectable creations have been rolling out by the truck road.

We have also posted a video of this church on ChiTownView.

Building Perspectives: St. Peters, Sunderland, December 2012 by John Thompson

1

You can seem to make a building metamorphose just by walking around it. Quite interesting. St. Peter's, Monkwearmouth is interesting in itself: A Saxon monastery, almost totally rebuilt by the Victorians (apart from the west tower & wall). Unusually for the Victorians, (who were so full of their own sense of creativity)they rebuilt on the original Saxon foundations, consequently this Victorian rebuild has the same proportions (& feel) of the original Saxon building. I do like this set of six.......even though I say it myself. Startling blue skies helped!
