Hello, DU! Here’s your Friday Afternoon Challenge: Double Take!

33. AHA!

http://www.nytimes.com/2006/10/08/realestate/08scap.html

3a is St Barthomew's, New York, built in 1918
and I'm assuming 3b is the church from St-Gilles on which Stanford White based his design. I haven't located that pic yet.



once again -- churches and art I know NOTHING about, but the words WERE a clue -- because the phrase is associated with St. Bartholomew. From there, I let google do the rest.

Had to rely on my French to overcome the goog's autocorrect.

Benedictine Abbey Saint-Gilles-du-Gard

Second edit to add the info on St. Bart --

http://justus.anglican.org/resources/bio/234.html

Almighty and everlasting God, who didst give to thine apostle Bartholomew grace truly to believe and to preach thy Word: Grant that thy Church may love what he believed and preach what he taught; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Ghost, one God for ever and ever.


Also, I have in my library a copy of Whitney Stoddard's "Art & Architecture in Medieval France" (1972) and Saint-Gilles-du-Gard is one of the examples featured.
