From the Cathedral's website (
visit link):
"The Cathedral is designed in an austere German style known as
Zopfstil and built of Milwaukee brick. Since the laying of the
cornerstone December 5, 1847, the exterior appearance has changed
very little except for the present tower, which was constructed in
1893, and the expansion of the east end of the building, which was
added during the rebuilding of the Cathedral after the fire that
partially destroyed the church on January 29, 1935."
