From "Appleton's Historic Old Third Ward Walking Tour" pamphlet, revised 2014 (www.focol.org/oldthirdward):
"In 1867 a group of German Catholics separated from the St. Mary parish forming St. Joseph Catholic Church in the Third Ward on Lawrence Street. In 1872 the cornerstone was laid for their first brick church constructed by W.W. Wilson. Extensive remodeling in 1889 followed architect Schickel's plans."
