St. John Nepomuk sits just to the east of Tucker Boulevard, originally Twelfth Street, and possesses most of its original buildings, including a school building and parish hall, I believe.

I was particularly interested in the building directly across the street, with the soaring Second Empire tower on the corner of Lafayette and Eleventh.
I strongly suspect the facade facing Lafayette was built second…
While the front facing Eleventh Street was built first.
