Loretto, the outdoor site of the famous baptism scene. The front of the church is the only thing that survived a 1970's fire. Here are a few pics:

Thanks. ..Years ago, I posted a lot of pictures of the Corleone House on here. Ironically, it was my first time in Staten Island, and now I live here only a few miles from these locations.

They should be viewable to everyone. I didn't sort through them or process them, so they might not look the best and there could be duplicates: Godfather Album 2005

I still say it would be so cool to rent out the yard for BB convention. Though I'm sure the owners would think we are all a bunch of nuts. Great pictures.

However, if I'm not mistaken, when I went on a tour in NYC,they said the L&O Courthouse steps were actually library steps. TIS Last edited by The Italian Stallionette; 04/01/13 10:36 PM.
