Walk south on Elbert, turn left onto Third Street and on the right at 210 Third Street is The Old Stone Church. Saint Francis of Assisi, Castle Rock’s first Catholic Church, was built in 1888 by local stone masons. Dedicated on December 15, 1889, it became a religious center for Catholic families of Douglas County. The church is constructed in a Gothic Revival style of local rhyolite stone with a front gabled main roof and a conical roof over the nave at the rear. By 1966 the small church could no longer handle its growing parish and the congregation moved to a new location east on Highway 86. In 1975 the church was converted into a restaurant.
Date the Church was built, dedicated or cornerstone laid: 12/15/1889
