              <text>St. Casimir's Roman Catholic Church is located in the Ironbound district of Newark and is one of the biggest churches of this city.  This church was designed by Joseph A. Jackson in the Romanesque Revival style and has served the Polish community for many decades. The plan of the church displays a Roman basilica plan with minor changes.  The main facade presents a gabled front dominated by a rose window that is integrated in a large arched window and is flanked by double pilasters on each side. Two aediculas with patron saints are located on each side of the main window.  The upper portion of the facade is divided by a belt course from the lower floor that is composed of the multi-arched entryway.  The materials used for the walls are brick and terra cotta while the roofs of the two towers fronting the street are topped with copper arcuated copulas. The rest of the roof is covered with slate. The most prominent feature on the interior are the stained glass windows by the famous Ludwig Von Gerichten.</text>
