St. Mary's Catholic Church (Dayton, Ohio)

St. Mary's Catholic Church is a historic Catholic church building in an eastern neighborhood of Dayton, Ohio, United States. Constructed at the beginning of the twentieth century, it remains home to an active parish. Its grand architecture has made it an aviator's landmark, and it has been named a historic site by the federal government. Parish history Emanuel Church, the first Catholic parish in Dayton, was formed in 1837. Many English-speaking families left to form a separate parish in 1846, but Emanuel continued growing to the point that division was necessary by the end of the 1850s. Accordingly, land was chosen on Xenia Avenue at the Allen Street intersection in one of the city's eastern neighborhoods, and the owner donated enough property to permit the construction of a church, rectory, and school. Archbishop Purcell of Cincinnati laid the cornerstone in April 1859, and the finished building was consecrated by Purcell and Henry Damian Juncker, the Bishop of Alton, in August of the following year. The building measured 110 by 50 feet (34 m × 15 m), but by the opening years of the twentieth century, the parish had outgrown it, and construction began on a new building; Archbishop Moeller laid the cornerstone in July 1905 and consecrated it in November 1906. Growth continued, and St. Anthony's Church was established in 1913 by families coming out of St. Mary's. St. Mary's remains an active part of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati to the present day. Masses are celebrated both in English and in Spanish. Architecture The current St. Mary's Church is a Romanesque Revival structure built in a mix of brick and stone. Constructed according to a design by John B. Vermont, the design features two massive clock towers on the three-bay facade. Three large doorways piece the facade at the top of a staircase, with occasional large windows and numerous pairs of narrower windows on higher levels. Each window is topped with a dormered dome above the clock. Built at a cost of $125,000 (or $3240741 in 2013 dollars), the church is a landmark because of the twin towers; during World War II, Army aviators used it as a waypoint when navigating to the runways at Wright Field. Preservation In April 1983, St. Mary's Church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Although as a religious property it would not normally be considered eligible for designation, it nevertheless qualified because of its distinctive historic architecture. It is one of five Dayton churches on the Register, along with Sacred Heart, St. Adalbert's, and Holy Cross Catholic Churches and First Lutheran Church.

St. Mary of the Annunciation Catholic Church (Portsmouth, Ohio)

St. Mary of the Annunciation Roman Catholic Church is a historic church of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Columbus in Portsmouth, Ohio. It was built in 1870 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. History The first Church of the Annunciation of Portsmouth was built in 1844 by Father O. Mealy, on Madison and 3rd Street. However, by 1852, the Catholics of the community needed another parish, and the German Catholics of the area retained the Church of the Annunciation, under the leadership of Father Francis Karge. The German community grew such that plans were made to construct a new church. A lot on the corner of Fifth and Market was purchased for $2500 in 1859 and the foundation of the church was built in 1864, in addition to a large schoolhouse, costing $3000. The cornerstone of the current church was blessed by Bishop Sylvester Rosecrans on May 9, 1869. The building was dedicated under the name of "Annunciation" on July 31, 1870, having cost $70,000 and having a capacity to seat around 800 people. In 1877, a large pipe organ was added, and in 1895, a bell tower and chimes were installed. The church was greatly damaged by the Ohio River flood of 1937, with water reaching 10 feet high in the church and causing more than $20,000 in damage. St. Mary is a member of the Diocese of Columbus, under the care of Bishop Earl K. Fernandes, Bishop of Columbus, with the Rev. Stephen Smith as pastor. As of July 1, 2024, St. Mary is a member of the St. John Paul II Scioto Catholic Parish along with Holy Redeemer (Portsmouth), Holy Trinity (Pond Creek, West Portsmouth), and Saint Peter in Chains (Wheelersburg) churches.

St. Patrick's Catholic Church (Glynwood, Ohio)

St. Patrick's Church is a historic Roman Catholic church in Glynwood, an unincorporated community in Moulton Township, Auglaize County, Ohio, United States. Located north of U.S. Route 33 between St. Marys and Wapakoneta, the church was built in 1883 in the Gothic Revival style. It is one of many large Catholic churches in a region of rural western Ohio known as the "Land of the Cross-Tipped Churches," which was settled by primarily Catholic immigrants during the nineteenth century. Establishment The parish was founded as St. Thomas' Church in the community of Six Mile in 1857. While most Catholic churches established in Auglaize and Mercer counties during this time were primarily German, St. Thomas' was established by Irish settlers. Mass was celebrated in private homes until a leading member donated land for a cemetery and church, which was built in 1860. Starting in the 1840s, the church was served by priests of the Society of the Precious Blood who were based at Minster, approximately 15 miles (24 km) to the south. Expansion During the 1870s, Six Mile prospered due to the discovery of oil and natural gas in the region and the coming of the Lake Erie and Western Railroad; when the railroad built a depot in Six Mile, it renamed the community for local resident John Glynn. St. Thomas' Church also grew, reaching the point that the old frame church was becoming too small for the number of parishioners. Accordingly, the cornerstone was laid for a new brick church in 1883. In this same year, the parish was rededicated for Saint Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland; the cemetery retained its former name. Architectural historians have divided the Precious Blood-related churches of western Ohio into multiple generations. Only a few buildings remain from the first generation, which consisted primarily of small wooden churches, and only St. John's Church in Fryburg to the east remains essentially unchanged. Replacing these wooden buildings were the churches of the second generation, which were generally small brick buildings without tall spires. St. Patrick's occupies of a transitional place between the churches of the second and third generations; although it is a small brick building that replaced an early wooden church, its tower resembles those of the High Gothic Revival churches of the third generation. Recent history In 1979, St. Patrick's Church was recognized for its architecture by being added to the National Register of Historic Places. Twenty-seven other churches, including the old mother church in Minster, were added to the Register at the same time. Today, St. Patrick's remains an active parish of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati. It is clustered with Holy Rosary parish in St. Marys, and both churches are a part of the St. Marys Deanery. References
St. Patrick's Catholic Church (Toledo, Ohio)

The Church of St. Patrick is a parish of the Roman Catholic Church at 130 Avondale Avenue in Toledo, Ohio, in the Diocese of Toledo. It is noted for its historic parish church, which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972. History The current structure is the second to bear this name. Construction of the first church began in 1862 at the corner of Lafayette and 13th Streets. It was dedicated May 17, 1863 with construction costs totaling $27,000. However, by 1891, the building was deemed unsafe and demolished. Pews and other interior furnishings removed for use in a new building. Construction Fr. Edward Hannin, pastor of St. Patrick's, set out to create "the finest church in this part of the land," for his congregation and began to raise money for construction. When it was completed, St. Patrick's was considered one of the finest examples of Gothic Revival architecture in the United States. The exterior is constructed of Amherst blue sandstone and the interior contains ten red granite columns. The church was dedicated on April 13, 1901. Alterations The church underwent extensive renovations in the 1920s under the guidance of pastor Fr. Francis Keyes. Changes included new chandeliers, flooring and art work. In 1937, a new cross was added to the steeple. On September 9, 1980, the 240 ft (73 m) steeple was destroyed by fire caused by a lightning strike. Falling debris damaged the roof and other portions of the structure. After her death February 25, 2006, Parishioner Margaret Tank bequeathed funds for the steeple's reconstruction and other upgrades in the church. The gift also allowed for repairs to the sanctuary's organ which was also damaged in the 1980 fire. The two-manual Rodgers electronic organ that incorporated 17 ranks of pipes from an earlier Kilgen organ was upgraded to a four-manual instrument. The steeple and other projects were completed August 28, 2007. References
Chiesa di San Patrizio (Toledo)

La chiesa di San Patrizio è un luogo di culto cattolico di Toledo inaugurato nel 1901, situato al 130 di Avondale Avenue. Fa parte, dal 1972, del National Register of Historic Places. Storia La struttura attuale è la seconda chiesa dedicata a San Patrizio. La prima chiesa fu costruita nel 1862. Fu consacrata il 17 Maggio 1863, e costò complessivamente $ 27.000. Tuttavia, nel 1891, l'edificio fu ritenuto pericoloso e demolito. Le panche e altri arredi interni, furono rimossi ed impiegati nella costruzione in un nuovo edificio. Padre Edward Hannin, parroco di San Patrizio, decise di creare "la più bella chiesa in questa parte del paese" per la sua comunità, e cominciò a raccogliere fondi per la costruzione. Quando fu completata, la chiesa di San Patrizio è stata considerata come uno dei migliori esempi di architettura neogotica negli Stati Uniti. La chiesa fu consacrata il 13 aprile 1901. Descrizione L'esterno è realizzato in arenaria blu Amherst, e all'interno vi sono dieci colonne di granito rosso. All'interno vi sono pavimenti marmorei, numerose opere d'arte (statue di santi e della Madonna, e diversi dipinti ed affreschi), e pregiati lampadari: tutti questi elementi furono aggiunto nel 1920, quando iniziarono i lavori di ristrutturazione voluti dal parroco Francis Keyes. Il campanile è alto 73 metri e nel 1937 fu aggiunta una nuova croce sulla sua guglia. Esso è stato ricostruito quando, il 9 settembre 1980, fu distrutto dalle fiamme causate da un fulmine. I detriti del campanile danneggiarono anche il tetto ed altre parti della struttura. Dopo la sua morte avvenuta il 25 Febbraio 2006, la parrocchiana Margaret Tank lasciò in eredità fondi per oltre sei milioni di dollari per la ricostruzione del campanile e per altri progetti nella chiesa. La donazione ha permesso anche la riparazione dell'organo della chiesa, che fu danneggiato nel 1980 da un incendio. Il campanile e gli altri progetti sono stati completati il 28 agosto 2007.

St. Paul's Episcopal Church (Fremont, Ohio)

St. Paul's Episcopal Church is a historic Episcopalian church in Fremont, a city in the northwestern part of the U.S. state of Ohio. Built in the 1840s and expanded multiple times in the following decades, it has been named a historic site for its distinctive architecture. In 2015, the church reported 158 members; in 2023, it reported 54 members. No membership statistics were reported in 2024 national parochial reports. Plate and pledge financial support reported by the church in 2023 was $134,511. Average Sunday Attendance (ASA) reported in 2024 was 30 persons. This was a relative decrease on ASA of 35 in 2023. Organic history Fremont's first Protestant Episcopalian meeting was held on January 15, 1842, with twenty-eight individuals present. Parish officers were chosen ten days later, and the first meeting of the vestry in early February petitioned Bishop McIlvaine for a pastor. Before long, a priest began coming periodically from Norwalk, and a new priest was ordained in the following November, although he only served one year before resigning due to ill health. In 1843, the members built a new church building on the northwestern corner of Main and Court Streets. Before this time, they had occupied multiple other locations; their first meetings were held in the Methodist church building, an old stone school-house that was later replaced with the city high school, and the courthouse. Funds were raised through pew rents and additional donations from the wealthier members. Bishop McIlvaine officially dedicated the building in late 1845. The interior was renovated and frescoed in 1859, and gas was introduced in 1861. Special attention was given to attract children to the Sunday school, and it grew immensely. Further renovations were performed in 1872 and 1873; more than $8000 was spent to enlarge the building, replace the furnace and carpet, and reconstruct other elements of the interior. At this time, plans were made to add a tower, and they were put into place in 1906. Until this time, it had been a small rectangular building with a simple gabled roof. Among the parish's most prominent members have been Ralph Pomeroy Buckland, a general during the American Civil War, and Rutherford B. Hayes, 19th President of the United States. Architecture St. Paul's is a thoroughly Gothic Revival structure with brick walls, a stone foundation, and elements of wood. Among its more distinctive elements is the square bell tower, which was constructed in 1906. The interior features components such as an octagonal baptistry, a pipe organ, frescoes, and a chancel and recess that were expanded in 1873. The interior is lit by stained glass windows and by massive chandeliers. Recent history St. Paul's is a member parish of the Diocese of Ohio. In early 2013, its rector was Daniel Longsworth Orr. In 1977, St. Paul's was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, qualifying because of its historically significant architecture. It is one of four National Register-listed properties on Park Avenue and one of seven in the city of Fremont. References External links Official parish website Episcopal Diocese of Ohio

St. Paulus Kirche, Cincinnati

St. Paulus Kirche is a former German Evangelical Protestant church located at the corner of 15th and Race Streets in the Over-the-Rhine historic district of Cincinnati, Ohio. It is one block from the headquarters of 3CDC which are located in Saengerhalle. Built in 1850, it is the oldest surviving Protestant church in the city and the second oldest church in Cincinnati. After sitting vacant for several decades, the building reopened as a brewpub in 2015. History St. Paul's was formed in 1845 as a breakaway from another German Protestant church, St. John's. Immigrants from northern Germany, who spoke Low German, felt marginalized by those from southern Germany, who spoke Swabian. The brick Greek Revival building opened in 1850, sporting a drugstore on the corner to help pay the mortgage. In 1950, the congregation merged with St. Peter's and moved to Westwood to form St. Peter and Paul United Church of Christ. The property was then used by a succession of other congregations until title reverted to the city. The building was vacant after 1993. The church steadily deteriorated, and its historic wooden steeple was destroyed by a severe storm in September 2008. In February 2011, the city of Cincinnati and 3CDC began work to stabilize the structure. According to the March 1, 2011 feature story in Soapbox Cincinnati, "Divine Inspiration: New Uses for Old Churches": "Work on the church is proceeding from the outside utilizing multi-story cranes to peel the roof back to survey the damage and remediate the structural issues. Munitz estimates it will cost $600,000-750,000 to make it secure and safe - the city of Cincinnati is contributing $300,000 towards stabilization." Renovation as brewpub In 2011, Cincinnati-based HGC Construction company stabilized the historic structure in 2011, readying it for development. In the summer of 2014, construction began to re-purpose the church into Taft's Ale House, a brewery and restaurant. The three-level brewpub was themed after William Howard Taft and features a blend of industrial and Victorian design. The space included two bars, a large beer hall with communal tables, traditional dining space as well as private dining in the bell tower. Taft's Ale House opened on April 6, 2015. Taft's Ale House closed in November 2023, with its owners citing the COVID-19 pandemic, rising costs and decreasing revenue as reasons for the closure. In August 2024, 3CDC announced that the next tenant of the building would be a new brewpub, the Mellotone Beer Project. The new venture held its grand opening on November 22 of that year. Mellotone includes an American cuisine restaurant on the main floor, and a bar called Undertone on the lower level. References
St. Peter's Church (Mansfield, Ohio)

St. Peter's Church is a historic Catholic church at 60 S. Mulberry Street in Mansfield, Ohio. History The first Catholic mass was celebrated in Mansfield in 1850, and shortly after, Mansfield's Catholic community purchased its first building, a former Methodist church. The parish built its first church in 1870, which burned down in 1889. Shortly after the fire, an impromptu combination church-school building was built adjacent to the current building. By the early 20th century, though, the parish had outgrown its quarters, and land was acquired for a new church. Prolific church architect William P. Ginther was commissioned to design the church, and Bishop of Cleveland John Patrick Farrelly laid the cornerstone on May 14, 1911. Ginther saw the neo-baroque St. Peter's as an "architectural cousin" to his neo-romanesque St. Bernard’s Church in Akron. Due to delays caused by the First World War, the church was finally dedicated on September 16, 1917. It has an ornate, baroque interior. The church was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. The church falls under the Roman Catholic Diocese of Toledo, whose current bishop is the Most Reverend Daniel Thomas. The parish also owns St. Peter's Catholic School, founded as a high school in 1958. As of 2024, the school has 228 students enrolled in K-12 classes. References
St. Philip's Episcopal Church (Circleville, Ohio)

St. Philip's Episcopal Church is an historic Episcopal church located at 129 West Mound Street in Circleville, Ohio. St. Philip's is a parish in the Episcopal Diocese of Southern Ohio. The Rev. Canon David E. Getreu is the 43rd rector. In 2019, the church reported 118 members; in 2023, it reported 129 members. No membership statistics were reported in 2024 national parochial reports. Plate and pledge financial support reported by the church in 2023 was $129,001. Average Sunday Attendance (ASA) reported in 2024 was 59 persons. This was a relative decrease on ASA of 65 in 2016. History The first Episcopal service in Circleville was held on May 26, 1817, by the Rev. Philander Chase, who in 1819 became the first bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Ohio. The stone church building was built in 1866 in a mixed Gothic and Tudor Revival style and was consecrated in 1868. Besides its actual name, the church has been known as the "Little Church on the Mound," because it sits on the base of what was formerly one of Circleville's numerous Native American mounds that was historically known as "Mount Gilboa." In 1918, the church was modified by the construction of a Tudor Revival structure that has since been used as a parish hall. Despite this addition, the church's historic integrity was not damaged, as both its Gothic Revival style and the addition's Tudor Revival style are meant to resemble older English structures. In recognition of its well-preserved historic architecture, St. Philip's was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.
