Melissa’s photo of the Cathedral Church

Cathedral Church March 8, 2017.

The cathedral Basilica of St. James  was built in 1903 and is located at the corner of Jay Street and Cathedral Place in downtown Brooklyn, New York. The building has a deep red color with a tower sitting on-top that is painted  in white with gold accents around the panels. On the front of the tower, there is a figure of someone holding a stick or pole. The enormous doors of the church are brown in color and have a floral design above the one of the main entrance. The dark rectangular windows are highlighted with white paints around each frame and brings a little life to the building. Four persons can be seen walking past the church where on the road vehicles are going about. There’s a sign in-front of the church and one on the side of the street which reads, ‘police line do not cross’. To the side of the church is a small tree without leaves and a tall building peeping behind it. I chose this photo because it’s historic and i like the color.
