Religious Art Deco in Brookland

IMG_3645 Architectural detail on the old Holy Names College (now Howard Divinity School) building in Brookland.  This is without doubt the most impressive religious art-deco building in the region and one of the best art deco buildings in the city.  Sadly little known since its in NE.  Should be on every art deco buff's must-see list.
