The St. Patrick's Catholic Church in West Pointe a'la Hache, Louisiana is a historic Roman Catholic church. It is located at 21997 LA 23, on the west bank of the Mississippi River.[2]
History
[edit]The wood-frame building was constructed in 1918 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.[1]
It was built in 1918 to replace a previous church destroyed by a hurricane in 1915. The church includes some elements of Gothic Revival architecture. It used some materials salvaged from the former church.[2]
The church was moved a short distance in 1937, from the east side of Louisiana Highway 23 in Port Sulphur to the west side. And it was somewhat enlarged then.[2]
It was moved upriver its current location in Woodland Sugar Plantation in 1998 and a further addition to the church was then added.[2]
The current St. Patrick's Catholic Church is a masonry structure built in 1954 to replace the wood-frame church. It is located in front of the former site of the wood frame one.[2]
