Alben Barkley casting vote for himself in hometown precinct, Paducah, with second wife at his side
Of all the 1856 landmarks of Paducah, the St Francis DeSales Catholic Church is the only church to still occupy its original site. The current day St Francis DeSales Church, located at 6th and Broadway, has lovely altar paintings and gilding, stained glass and statuary, making it one of the most beautiful edifices in the downtown area. Its tall, twin rounded cap towers, topped by crosses, are a familiar silhouette on the Paducah skyline.
