Holy Trinity Catholic Church

The 1896 church behind the Romanesque front is the work of Nicholas J. Clayton, the Galveston architect, and it is the third building on this site. Inside, the communion rail survives, described as one of the last fully intact in a Shreveport Catholic church, while the two Gothic Revival side altars came from another church in the area rather than being made for this one. Monsignor O'Hanlon oversaw a long restoration from the 1970s. The church was listed on the National Register on September 27, 1984, and also counts within the Shreveport Commercial Historic District.
