Sacred Heart Church & School On Caroline St. At Pease St.


Recommended Posts

Never even knew this church even existed!  Looking on Google Maps, Caroline at Pease is a surface lot.  I hope this beautiful, awesome, church wasn't demolished for an (eventual) surface parking lot.

In 1897, the Houston-based architect Olle Lorehn draw a church for the Rev. Father Keaney.

But did it actually exist? I wonder if it was ever constructed after this drawing (1897).  Sacred Heart Church and school (Olle J. Lorehn) on Pierce between Fannin and San Jacinto, demolished not too long ago, was built in 1912.  That is only 15 years later and just a few blocks away, and by the same architect.  Could be it never materialized and was scraped.
