St. John's Catholic Church
St. John's Catholic Church, Romanesque Revival church in Delphos, Ohio.
St. John's Catholic Church features rounded arches, decorative arcading, and a prominent tower that fills an entire city block in downtown Delphos.
The parish began in 1842 when German Catholic settlers from Osnabrück established a community, leading to the construction of the current building in 1879.
The interior displays two rows of columns with Corinthian capitals and a rib vault design that mirrors the architecture of Rome's Basilica di San Clemente.
The church maintains regular mass schedules and opens its doors for educational tours, allowing visitors to examine its architectural elements throughout the year.
Among the Catholic churches in western Ohio, this structure stands apart for its Romanesque Revival design, contrasting with the predominantly Gothic Revival buildings.
