St. Patricks Church |
Details |
First built in 1863 and dedicated in April of 1864. It was built of Monson granite in the Gothic style architecture with a steeple containing a clock and bell. The interior walls were beautifully frescoed, the panels being filled with the Stations of the Cross. The windows were of Cathedral Stained Glass, and the pews were black walnut with ash trim. The choir loft contained a large Hammond organ. In 1900, the church received alterations, a Gothic tower was built; Munich windows were added; a beautiful Carrara marble altar was placed in the Sanctuary with a Pieta and a statue of Saint Joseph. On August 6, 1928, a fire started near or in in the organ and quickly burned the entire ceiling and roof. Ten months later the Church was repaired and re-opened. |
