Church of the Holy Family

-A A +A
1909. 424 South Main St.

Earlier than St. Ann's ( WO1), Walter Fontaine's Church of the Holy Family is mildly Romanesque Revival, with a soaring brick tower piled on top of its triple-arched portico. The cavernous, barrel-vaulted space within again shows Fontaine's interest in color; but, in comparison with St. Ann's, is underelaborated.
