Church of the Transfiguration Historic District
Church of the Transfiguration Historic District, Roman Catholic institutional complex in Detroit, United States
The Church of the Transfiguration Historic District contains six buildings including a church, shrine with grotto, school, convent, rectory, and activities building.
Polish immigrants established the Transfiguration Parish in 1925, constructing a church and school designed by Garstecki & Waier with a cornerstone laid in 1926.
The parish served Detroit's Polish community with services in Polish language, welcoming over 700 students in its first year of operation.
The former school building within the complex is undergoing conversion into 19 affordable housing units to meet current community requirements.
The church features Italian Renaissance architecture with multi-tonal brick, limestone trim, and a five-story bell tower crowned by a large rose window.
