1908/1926 - Romanesque Revival - Our Lady of the Gulf Catholic Church (Contributing)
Brick Romanesque Revival church featuring square towers, of unequal height, on the left and right front corners. The taller, left tower is a bell and clock tower and has an entrance on the left (south) side. The towers are topped by paneled parapets with large finials, and are connected at the roofline by a concrete balustrade. The main entrance to the church is located at center and is a double-door with round-arched transom flanked by narrow round-arched windows. A portico with pedimented entablature is supported by Ionic columns arranged in groups of three. Round-arched art glass windows with drip molds are located on the fronts and sides of the towers and along the sides of the nave; they are connected by a continuous sill/molded belt course. Clerestory windows on the primary elevation are small round-arched windows; paired round-arched clerestory windows are on the side elevation. All side windows are set into brick panels. Construction of this building began in 1908, but was not completed until 1926.
