A baptist church after Katrina. The entire rear side of the building is washed away. This church is located in the Lower 9th Ward North of Claiborne. The photo was taken during the middle of 2006 as I recall. I\'d guess the church building might be as much as a hundred years old and it was one of many churches, businesses and houses destroyed or damaged by the flood.
