Church of St. Adrian - Catholic is a historic church building at Main and Church Streets in Adrian , Minnesota , United States . Bishop John Ireland was noticing the development of the southwestern Minnesota prairie land in the late 1870s . He directed Mayor Ben Thompson to scout out sites in the area . In 1877 , the bishop established a new parish in Adrian , which at the time had only three houses , two stores , one hotel , a wayside station , and only one practicing Catholic . The new parish was presided over by Father C. J. Knauf and named after Saint Adrian the warrior . The first building was a wood-framed building , built in 1878 at a cost of $ 700 . In 1887 , a brick-veneered building was built , but it was destroyed by a fire on December 24 , 1899 . $ 30,000 was raised toward the cost of a new church , whose cornerstone was laid on July 4 , 1900 . The congregation started worshiping in the new church the following year . The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980 . The parish is now part of a four-parish cluster with Church of St. Kilian in Wilmont Township , St. Anthony in Lismore , and Our Lady of Good Counsel in Wilmont .

St. Francis 's building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985 for having local significance in the themes of architecture and European ethnic heritage .

Renaissance Revival architecture ( sometimes referred to as Neo-Renaissance ) is a group of 19th century architectural revival styles which were neither Greek Revival nor Gothic Revival but which instead drew inspiration from a wide range of classicizing Italian modes . Under the broad designation Renaissance architecture nineteenth-century architects and critics went beyond the architectural style which began in Florence and central Italy in the early 15th century as an expression of Renaissance humanism ; they also included styles we would identify as Mannerist or Baroque . Self-applied style designations were rife in the mid- and later nineteenth century : Neo-Renaissance might be applied by contemporaries to structures that others called Italianate , or when many French Baroque features are present ( Second Empire ) . The divergent forms of Renaissance architecture in different parts of Europe , particularly in France and Italy , has added to the difficulty of defining and recognizing Neo-Renaissance architecture . A comparison between the breadth of its source material , such as the English Wollaton Hall , Italian Palazzo Pitti , the French Château de Chambord , and the Russian Palace of Facets - all deemed Renaissance - illustrates the variety of appearances the same architectural label can take .
Emmanuel Louis Masqueray ( 1861-1917 ) was a Franco-American preeminent figure in the history of American architecture , both as a gifted designer of landmark buildings and as an influential teacher of the profession of architecture dedicated to the principals of Beaux-Arts architecture .
The historic Church of St. Joseph ( now named Christ the King Catholic Church ) is a church in Browerville , Minnesota , United States .

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places as Church of St. Joseph -- Catholic in 1985 for its local significance in the themes of architecture , exploration/settlement , and religion . It was nominated for its unifying central role in an immigrant community .
Browerville is a city in Todd County , Minnesota , United States . The population was 790 at the 2010 census .
The Baroque Revival , also known as Neo-Baroque ( or Second Empire architecture in France and Wilhelminism in Germany ) , was an architectural style of the late 19th century . The term is used to describe architecture and architectural sculptures which display important aspects of Baroque style , but are not of the original Baroque period . Elements of the Baroque architectural tradition were an essential part of the curriculum of the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris , the pre-eminent school of architecture in the second half of the 19th century , and are integral to the Beaux-Arts architecture it engendered both in France and abroad . An ebullient sense of European imperialism encouraged an official architecture to reflect it in Britain and France , and in Germany and Italy the Baroque Revival expressed pride in the new power of the unified state .
Polish Americans are Americans who have total or partial Polish ancestry . There are an estimated 10.5 million self-identified Polish Americans , representing about 3% of the U.S. population . Polish Americans are the largest Slavic and West Slavic ethnic group in the United States , second largest Central European group after the Germans , and the eighth largest immigrant group overall . The first Polish settlers arrived at Walter Raleigh 's failed Roanoke Colony in 1585 . In 1608 Polish settlers came to the Virginia Colony as skilled craftsmen . Two early Polish visitors , Casimir Pulaski and Tadeusz Kościuszko , led armies in the Revolutionary War and are remembered as national heroes . Overall , around 2.2 million Poles and Polish subjects immigrated into the United States , between 1820 and 1914 , chiefly after national insurgencies and famine . They included former Polish citizens of Roman Catholic , Protestant , Jewish or other minority descent . Exact immigration figures are unknown . Many immigrants were classified as Russian , German or Austrian by the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service as the Polish state did not exist from 1795 to 1918 when the former territories of Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth were under Prussian , Austrian-Hungarian and Russian control . Complicating the U.S. Census figures further is the high proportion of Polish Americans who married people of other national descent . In 1940 , about 50 percent married other American ethnics and a study in 1988 found that 54% of Polish Americans were of mixed ancestry from three generations or longer .
The Church of St. Hubertus is a historic church in Chanhassen , Minnesota , United States , built in 1887 .

The Gogebic Range in Wisconsin and the Marquette Iron Range and Menominee Range in Michigan have similar characteristics and are of similar age . Natural ores and concentrates were produced from 1848 until the mid 1950s , when taconites and jaspers were concentrated and pelletized , and started to become the major source of iron production . The far eastern area , containing the Duluth Complex along the shore of Lake Superior , and the far northern area , along the Canada-US border , of the region are not associated with iron ore mining .

Grand Marais ( /ˌɡrænd məˈreɪ/ ) is a city in Cook County , Minnesota , United States . It is a northern town on the North Shore with a population of 1,351 at the 2010 census . It is also the county seat and sole municipality of Cook County . Prior to inhabitation by French Canadian settlers and prior to Minnesota 's statehood , Grand Marais was inhabited by the Anishinaabe indigenous people , the thriving woodland people also known as the Ojibwe . The Ojibwe name for the area is Gichi-biitoobiig , which means great duplicate water , parallel body of water or double body of water ( like a bayou ) , a reference to the two bays which form the large harbor of Lake Superior . The area was a bustling fur trading station since the 1700s , and the French Canadian Voyageurs termed the settled village Grand Marais which is French for Great Marsh , referring to a marsh that , in early fur-trading times , was 20 acres ( 8.1 ha ) or less in area , nearly at the level of Lake Superior , and situated at the head of the little bay and harbor that led to the settlement of the village there . Another small bay on the east , less protected from storms , is separated from the harbor by a slight projecting point and a short beach . Also , Grand Marais also may mean sheltered water area , as the harbor has natural breakwall rock outcroppings , providing for a natural safe harbor for early Lake Superior explorers . Located on the east side of Grand Marais is Chippewa City . Chippewa City thrived in the 1890s , with about 100 families living in the village . The historic Francis Xavier church still stands slightly north of town , just off Highway 61 . The church began as a Jesuit mission from Fort William , Ontario in 1855 to minister to the Ojibwe residents of the area .
