St. Stephen Church, Gothic religious structure in Detroit-Shoreway, Cleveland, United States.
St. Stephen Church features pointed arches, stone walls, and a prominent tower designed by architectural firm Cudell & Richardson in 1875.
German immigrants established the church in 1869 when St. Mary's parish required additional space to accommodate the expanding Catholic population in Cleveland.
The parish conducts religious services in three languages: German, English, and Latin, maintaining connections with its original German-speaking community heritage.
The National Register of Historic Places designation since 1977 enables the church to receive special consideration for federal preservation grants.
During construction in the 1870s, parishioners mortgaged their personal properties to fund the building project through economic difficulties.
