Holy Cross Polish National Church-Photo 23

In 1853-54 a new, more stylish church rose on the west side of S. Broadway, south of Pratt Street. Built for the Second Baptist congregation, the church, was designed by local architects William Reasin and Samuel Wetherald in the Lombardic style. The brick building, with stone trim, is 51 'wide by 86' deep.

The two-story church consists of a long nave with side aisles set beneath a gable roof. A tall tower with octagonal steeple rises above the central, entrance bay. Lombardic forms include the wide, round-arched openings with keystones; horizontal stone bands marking the floor levels on the facade and articulating the arched windows; and the stone columns with carved capitals supporting the wide round arch above the entrance.

The church now serves the Holy Cross Polish National parish.
