Wandering around Asheville the other day, I found myself stopping by the Basilica of St. Lawrence.

Completed in 1909, the Roman Catholic church was designed by the same Spanish architect, Rafael Guastavino (1842-1908), that lent his hands to the famous Biltmore House, the Great Hall at Ellis Island, Grand Central Station, and a thousand plus other buildings in the US.

(Anyone else think “Cry Room” sounds a bit ominous?)
