The Basilica of Saint Lawrence

This photo of the Basilica of Saint Lawrence altar was taken at 97 Haywood Street in Asheville, North Carolina.  The Basilica was designed by Rafael Guastavino, an architect and builder, who emigrated to the United States from Barcelona in 1881. The present church underwent construction in 1905 and was not completed until 1909 after Rafael Guastavino death in 1908. Just beautiful is how I would describe it.
