2nd Polish Roman Catholic Church in Detroit...

St. Casimir Polish Roman Catholic Church was the 2^nd Polish Roman Catholic Church in the city of Detroit taking some 100 families from St. Albertus Parish in its trek to the west-side. It became the linchpin of the west-side Polonia located at Myrtle and Twenty-third Streets now known as Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. and 23^rd St. The original edifice was a magnificent structure as seen in the photo courtesy of the Burton Historical Collection of the Detroit Public Library. This beautiful place of worship was replaced some years later by this, might we say, modern structure below that still more years later was sold to the Clinton Chapel A.M.E. Zion Church in October of 1989.
