This corner of the world is a bit of a separation of church and state. I am standing in front of city hall and am surrounded by the most amazing religious buildings. The beautiful Temple (circa 1866) originally budgeted at a cost of $35,000 for the land, and $55,000 for the building, the total cost of the enterprise exceeded $300,000, largely due to post Civil War inflation. The architect was James Keys Wilson.
In the foreground is the St Peter in Chains Cathedral. (circa 1845). Not seen a three other churches. Its an amazing conglomeration of religious architecture.
