St. James Episcopal Church, Gothic Revival church on Wisconsin Avenue, Milwaukee, United States.
St. James Episcopal Church is a Gothic Revival building in Milwaukee constructed from limestone with tall pointed windows along its walls. A corner tower topped with a steep spire and cross marks its prominent silhouette.
The church was built atop a historic burial ground where Milwaukee's earliest European residents were interred during the settlement's early years. Excavations during major renovations confirmed the site's cemetery past.
The interior showcases ornate stained glass and hand-carved wood details that visitors encounter as they move through the space. These elements shape the character and feel of the rooms.
The building functions as an event venue with two distinct spaces suited for different gathering sizes. Interior layout allows flexibility for various types of functions and celebrations.
During major renovations in the 1920s, workers discovered original headstones buried within the building's structure. This unexpected find provided direct evidence that the site had once served as a burial ground.
