Built beginning in 1897, the Romanesque Revival Church has twin spires, fifteen distinctive styles of brickwork, and imported German stained glass windows. The cornerstone was laid in 1898, and construction ceased in 1900. The interior boasts vaulted ceilings and Italian marble columns. In 1971, the last mass was said at the church. In 1987, the structure was repurposed as a community center after undergoing extensive renovations. For more information, see Linley, John.
