Abstract
Description
The portico is Italian in style, an almost exact duplicate of the Church of Santa Maria delle Grazie in Rome.
The building materials are very American. The main stonework is a rough cut pink granite. This cut is found rarely, if ever, in Europe. All of the moldings, and the fluted columns over the entrance above the portico are in terracotta. The portico is built of Indiana limestone. The church is 90 by 170 feet and is built of North Carolina Granite. A 3,000 pound bell was installed in the main tower which is 112 feet high.
