Holy Ghost Catholic Church
Holy Ghost Catholic Church, Romanesque Revival church in Dubuque, United States
The Holy Ghost Catholic Church features a bell tower, red brick buildings, and Italian-Basilica architectural elements with detailed stonework throughout its structure.
The parish formed in 1896 to serve German immigrants in north Dubuque, with the current church building completed in 1916 under architect Guido Beck's design.
The sanctuary contains stained glass windows depicting religious symbols, and formerly displayed paintings by Austrian immigrant artist Joseph Walter on its interior walls.
The church maintains 500 seats in its main sanctuary, with access to an eight-acre recreational area that includes playground facilities developed by parish members.
The previous site contained the Glab Brewery, which stored products in caves along Central Avenue between 30th and 31st streets before church construction.
