36. Tansy, I don't know how to zoom in on lettering like that. Can you clue me in?

But this is exactly right.

I learned of this in David McCullough's fine book, "A Greater Journey", which was about Americans who came to Paris in the 19th century. Sanford White was one of them and he was so impressed when he went to Nimes, France with that church, he incorporated its design in the first St. Barts in NYC. When that church was taken down and a new church envisioned, the church managers specified that the portals of White were to be retained and included in the church at the new site.

It is the Church of Saint-Gilles, by the way, in Nimes. It happened to be right at the start of the Compestela de Santiago in Spain, the Way of St. James, a major pilgrimage site in Christendom. This church dates from the 12th century.

What a fabulous story!
