Immaculate Conception Church (New Orleans)

The church is located at 130 Baronne Street, and is part of the local Jesuit community.

[1] Two Immaculate Conception churches, nearly identical to each other, were built on the same site over time.

In the late 1920s, it suffered foundation damage due to the construction of the Pere Marquette building.

The many stained glass windows of the church, depicting Jesuit saints, are among the finer in America.

The pews are made of cast iron, with Moorish tracery, rosettes, and designs particularly symbolic of scriptural references.

The central focal point of the church is "Mary's Niche", a solid-marble statue of the Blessed Virgin standing in front of a gilded, lit background.

When it was being played inside the fair building, it caused the collapse of the main tent.

The organ's facade contained 32 feet (9.8 m) tall Open Diapason pipes, with Moorish Revival style stenciling on them.
