Holy Name of Jesus Roman Catholic Church, 1961.

By 1961, the vine-covered Holy Name was part of a changed neighborhood: the six-lane Prospect Expressway, completed in 1954, displaced residents of demolished apartment buildings on 18th and 19th Streets, including Italian-American parishioners of Holy Name.
