Description

New Orleans, Louisiana, 1920. "Ring Signs on the Brick Wall of Old Saint Anthony's Church". Photograph of a section of church wall has posters pasted on it. Posters advocate re-election of mayor Martin Behrman (who lost the office in this election to challenger Andrew J. McShane), J.Y. Sanders for Senator (who lost to Edwin S. Broussard). Another poster recruits for the US Army with the slogan "United States Army Builds Men".

Note: Louisiana State Library website has this identified as the St. Anthony of Padua Church on Canal Street in Mid-City; I believe this is incorrect, and the actual church is the one now known as Our Lady of Guadalupe. Photographer calling it by its old "Saint Anthony" name, and note the specification "Old Saint Anthony's Church" while the St. Anthony of Padua Church in Mid City was new at the time, having been dedicated I believe in 1915 [1]. I think the location is the corner of Conti and Rampart, looking lakwards, with 2 buildings at the uptown lake corner of Conti and Basin visible in distance at left. -- Infrogmation (talk) 01:30, 1 December 2010 (UTC)
