St Patrick, Philadelphia   The main body (nave) is said to seat 1,200, though some contest this number to be closer to 700. No altar rails were built in the original design, though they were later added briefly in the 1960s and then removed, not so much rails but big marble squares with a rail, deemed fashionable at the time. On each of the side altars stood the marble statues of St. Patrick and the Virgin Mary from the old church. (The original St. Patrick holding a shamrock aloft would later be replaced by Msgr. Dowling in the 1980s.)
