2 things... how old are these pictures maybe 5 years old? And second, just FYI, the St. Mary's Basilica picture isn't really a picture of the St. Mary's Basilica. Your picture is of the Immaculate Heart of Mary church on Washington St. The St. Mary's Basilica on Monroe looks a little bit similar, but not quite:

For anyone interested: if you look at the back side of the St. Mary's Basilica on the Van Buren St side, there is a arched doorway fronting the street. This was the entrance to the old school, demolished probably 20 years ago, sadly. I always wonder if the church wishes it saved the school. Anyway, you can catch a glimpse of the back of the Basilica and the school at 3:16 of this Morrisey song's video:

These are actually almost 10 years old, if you can believe it. I have pictures from places here and there that I never got to posting, and am trying to get to before it's even more late.
It unfortunately appears that you're right with the basilica. I would've loved to have seen the basilica instead of a regular parish church.
