St. Boniface Church - Uniontown, WA - Roman Catholic Churches on Waymarking.com

"Completed in 1904 and dedicated in 1905, the Romanesque Revival style church is symmetrical in design and based on a cruciform plan. The building's footprint measures fifty-seven feet by one hundred and forty feet; the nave rises thirty-one feet, flanking side aisles rise twenty-one feet; the transept width is eighty-two feet. The foundation consists of a tuck-pointed basalt base with a granite sill course. Large twin towers capped by spires flank the entry. The nave features shallow transepts that extend slightly beyond the plane of the nave walls. A semi- circular apse projects from the rear of the building. Brick walls are laid up in an American bond, with flush joints painted light red. Small buttresses found at tower corners, between nave windows and at other junctures have inclined sandstone caps.

At the front elevation, concrete stairs are framed by solid concrete railings textured in a stone-like finish; light standards rest on railings. Wood, double entry doors in arched openings feature strap hinges. The overlying arch, flanking arched windows and arched windows and openings on the towers are further defined by corbelled label moldings. A rose window is contained between two rows of corbel tables. The gable peak contains a clock and is surmounted by a statue of the Immaculate Conception. Towers feature long arched openings containing wooden louvers; tower bases terminate in heavy cornices composed of layered crown moldings. The shortened, octagonal spires rest upon open arcades which are capped by small gables clad with shingles.

Exterior nave walls feature broad arches containing stained glass scenes depicting the history of the church. All windows and arches are defined by corbelled label moldings; windows rest on lug sills consisting of classical moldings. A cupola over the crossing was removed in the 1930s or 1940s."
