St. Hedwig's, Catholic church building in Brady Street neighborhood, Milwaukee, US
St. Hedwig's Church displays Romanesque Revival architecture with a central tower, copper-clad spire, and cream-colored bricks characteristic of Milwaukee construction.
The church began in 1871 when forty Polish families gathered to establish a parish, leading to the construction of the first wooden structure.
The church served as a center for Polish immigrants during the 1800s, offering services in their native language and maintaining cultural traditions.
The building includes accessibility features with a ramp at the north entrance door, and parking spaces are available during evenings and weekends.
A street riot occurred in 1885 over the selection of a Polish organist, resulting in temporary closure and subsequent leadership changes.
