St. Anthony Catholic Church

-A A +A
1955. 115 N. 25 Mile Ave.

Angled on its site to face the busy intersection of N. 25 Mile and W. Park avenues, St. Anthony is a handsome, restrained, gable-roofed church faced with buff brick and sparingly decorated with eighteenth-century-style Spanish detail, an echo of the impact of Texas Tech’s original buildings (LK17) on the architecture of the High Plains. The church’s front wall plane is articulated with tapered buttresses, as are the long nave walls. Nave windows are narrow, paired, vertical slots. A slender bell tower with an octagonal lantern rises near the chancel on the 25 Mile Avenue side of the church. Facing W. Park Avenue is the contemporaneous, one-story, flat-roofed parish school.
