St. Patrick's Catholic Church, Cedar
St. Patrick's Catholic Church, Cedar, Romanesque Revival church in Cedar, Greene County, United States.
The church features a tall corner tower, vitrified brick walls, and stone elements that exemplify the Romanesque Revival architectural style.
Following a devastating fire in 1919 that left only brick walls standing, the congregation rebuilt the structure using the existing foundation.
Irish Catholic settlers established the Cedar Creek community in the 1850s, with the first Mass held in June 1863 at Myles Fitzpatrick's residence.
The church building measures 70 by 41 feet and contains stained glass windows, including a prominent rose window on the main facade.
William LeBarthe Steele designed this religious structure in 1915, which was constructed by C. F. Mayer for a total cost of $24,000.
