At Jackson and Albany in East Garfield Park is Our Lady of Sorrows, one of three basilicas in the city. Like many churches and places of worship, the real effort in design and implementation went toward the inside rather than the outside of the structure.
The interior has one of the most spectacular displays of color, geometry, depth, and detail I’ve seen in a building.
