Art and Architecture
The current church building is the third on this site. It was designed by architect RobertW. Gibson and completed in 1891. It is made of Indiana limestone in the Northern Italian Renaissance or Romanesque-Byzantine style and provides a rich setting for worship. The style was a daring departure in church architecture at the time.The new Church was enhanced with chancel decorations by Tiffany Glass and Decorating Company. The Church was dedicated on December 16, 1891.
The Parish House of the same style was designed by architects Charles Merry and Robert W. Gibson and completed in 1902. This building was designed for community service and originally contained facilities for a school, laundry and kitchen.
Tiffany Stained Glass
St. Michael’s Church has been given has the privilege of worshiping in and caring for an exquisitely beautiful church building. The art and architecture of our church inspires us in our worship of God and draws us together as a community. We are stewards of this extraordinary building so that it may continue to inspire all who come through its doors. We invite you to learn a little about the art and architecture of our church through the content of these pages and hope that you will be able to experience its beauty in person.
