Built in the 1850s, just before Greco-Roman gave way to gothic, St. Aloysius is the oldest Catholic church building in downtown DC. Its treasures are several paintings done by Constantino Brumidi who, for decades, decorated the halls, rooms and Rotunda of the nearby U.S. Capitol Building.

Brumidi's altar piece at St. Al's depicts St. Aloysius receiving his First Communion from St. Charles Borromeo. The model for Aloysius' mother (at left) was Adele Cutts Douglas, wife of Stephen Douglas who ran against Abraham Lincoln for the Senate (Lincoln-Douglas debates) and the Presidency.
