St. Mary's Catholic Church (1930)

St. Mary's Catholic Church, on the northeast corner of North Court and Fourth Streets, was designed by C.I. Krajewski of Dubuque, Iowa in the Gothic Revival style.

Constructed of Bedford Limestone (over brick), this building replaced a smaller stone church built on the same site in 1860-61. The use of stone, lavish carvings at the entrances, stone tracery at the windows, and buttresses along the walls give the church a strong sense of a medieval cathedral.

A 60' tall bell tower is located at the southwest corner. The tower features a copper-covered lantern and cross, and copper covered shutters.

St. Mary's Church and Rectory has been determined to be National Register eligible.
