St. Paul Roman Catholic Church
2127 W. 22nd Place
DETAILS:
St Paul Catholic Church is a symphony of brick, combining Gothic design, unique craftsmanship, and brilliant mosaics. Architect Henry Schlacks modeled the 245-foot-tall brick spire towers after those of the Cathedral of St Cortin in Quimper, France. The church was dedicated in 1899. Ripley's Believe It or Not described St Paul's as "The church built without a single nail." A significant renovation was completed in 2013, adding a banquet hall and a courtyard. A coffee shop also opened onsite in 2022 and the St. Ann Chapel featuring stained glass from St. Ann Church opened in early 2024.
