St. Mary’s Catholic Church is a brick Romanesque Revival-style building constructed in 1903 (as indicated by a cornerstone). It has a rectangular footprint, stone foundation, and front gabled roof. A bell tower and semicircular apse are located on the east (front) and west (rear) gable ends, respectively. The facade is symmetrical and divided into three bays. The central bay includes the bell tower and main entrance. The entrance consists of a set of stone stairs leading to double doors that are slightly recessed under a round arch and transom window. At each end of the round arch is a square pilaster with a simple capital. A dentilated pediment completes the entryway. Two brick pilasters rise from the pediment roof to the main roofline. A rose window is centered between the pilasters. The bell tower features four pairs of arched openings, one on each side, and decorative brick work. The two bays that flank the central entrance each feature a single tall round arched window. Decorative brick adorns the walls below the roofline. The north and south elevations are divided into six equal bays, delineated by brick pilasters and tall, round arch windows. It appears all stained-glass windows have been removed. All basement windows also appear to be replaced. Further, the building no longer functions as a church and has been repurposed for commercial and/or residential use. It could not be determined how the change in use has affected the appearance of the interior of the building. |
