St. Margaret Catholic Church, Gothic Revival Catholic church in Albany, Louisiana.
St. Margaret Queen of Scotland Catholic Church is a frame Gothic Revival building erected in 1910, with a basilican plan and a central entrance tower topped by a belfry and spire. Its exterior is now completely sheathed in aluminium siding, and a small rear wing has been added. It was consecrated in 1912.
The church was built around 1910 for Hungarian workers employed at the Charles Brackenridge Lumber Company. It received official consecration in 1912 and became an important religious center for Hungarian immigrants in the area.
The church served as a spiritual center for Hungarian settlers in the area and shaped the religious life of the community. It was a gathering place for believers who wanted to maintain their traditions and faith.
The church is located in a rural area of Louisiana and is best reached by car. Visitors should note that it functions as an active place of worship and may be accessible during service times.
The 1910 frame building was completely sheathed in aluminium siding over the years, and a small rear wing was added; despite these changes it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on January 28, 1992.
