First Roman Baroque in Chicago, Now in Wisconsin
Some folks snickered a bit at my thesis project last year, considering it plopped down a full-fledged grandchild of Austria's Baroque Melk abbey down in the Midwest (all right, it was over the top, but it was also a student project), but Shrine friend Duncan Stroik is doing just about the same thing for real, with his marvelous early Roman Baroque-style Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe. JBP at The Society of St. Barbara has the details, and some very snappy new photos of the interior.
