Abstract
Description
The interior of St. Paul's has also been renovated and restored over the years. The ceiling rises to a height of 64-feet in the center and 32-feet at the side extensions. The original church decor was the work of Fred Herreilers. Among the church's design features were: the first High Altar of hand-carved wood, 40-feet high, designed and built by Anton Kloster of New York; stained glass windows by Falck Art Glass Works of New York; and the pulpit by the Globe Furniture Co.
The Stations of the Cross, imported from Paris, were set in the walls. Their delicate colors were painted over in white for a more "modern" appearance in 1974 and then restored to their approximate original appearance in the early 1990s.
On prominent display near the front of the church is a large crucifix bearing the date of 1873, the only element preserved from the earlier years of the parish.
