St. Mary's on the Flats, Roman Catholic church in Cleveland Centre, United States.
Located at the corner of Girard and Columbus Streets, the wooden church building measured 81 feet by 53 feet with four Doric columns.
Established in 1826 by Catholic immigrant laborers, St. Mary's on the Flats opened its doors in 1840 and served as Cleveland's first Catholic cathedral.
The church became a central meeting point for Irish immigrants who found employment as laborers on the docks and Ohio and Erie Canal.
The church building deteriorated over time due to industrial development in the area, leading to its closure in 1886 and demolition in 1888.
Before its closure, St. Mary's on the Flats initiated the formation of multiple west-side parishes including St. John Cathedral and St. Malachi's.
