Chapel of St. Theresa-the Little Flower
Chapel of St. Theresa-the Little Flower, Religious chapel in Midtown Detroit, United States.
The Chapel of St. Theresa-the Little Flower featured Romanesque Revival architecture with red brick walls, limestone accents, and twin arched entrances.
The chapel, constructed in 1926 near St. Peter and Paul Academy, provided a safer location for children attending school masses away from busy streets.
The religious structure served the Irish Catholic community of Detroit until 2015, when declining membership led to the parish dissolution.
The chapel, located at 58 Parsons Street, remained a landmark on the National Register of Historic Places from 1997 until its demolition in 2023.
The building incorporated a basilica floor plan with square bays framing the entrance and displayed distinctive red tile roofing throughout its structure.
