The first, a small abode, built in 1718, about the date of the founding of New Orleans; the second, in 1725, and the present one in 1788, which was erected wholly through the liberality of Colonel Don Andres Almonester y Roxas, a wealthy Spaniard. The three altars are masterpieces cf religious expression in their design. The ceiling is irescoed in the higher artistic style. Thecenterpiece represents the Transfiguration. Behind the main altar is a grand semi-historic picture, representing St. Louis, presenting the Crusaders with a banner. It was ex«cutea by Brumbracht.
