The Quaker meetinghouse on this site was purchased at auction by local Catholics in 1863. St. Philip Roman Catholic has been on this corner since then. The first school opened in 1880. The current Romanesque building, dedicated in 1930, after the previous church was destroyed by fire in 1928, was designed by local architect Adelbert B. Chanel. It is St. Philips fifth church to stand at this location.
Visit Instructions:Take a photo of your GPS at the marker. We'd prefer a photo of you with your GPS, but we realize that sometimes that's just not possible or preferable.
Also include a bit about your visit to the marker.
NEW: Instructions for logging Missing Marker Visits.
If the Marker is missing, but still listed here, you must provide a photo of you at the actual item historically honored. (This should be the waymark's "default" image). Indicate in your log that you took your photo at the Historical Location instead of the marker, because the marker was missing. Please also still include a bit about your visit to the site.
