Prospect and Wilson (now East 55th Street), Cleveland; constructed 1891-93, now demolished. Romanesque.

Exterior: "Marble" from Gouverneur, northwestern New York, from the Grenville Series (Buddington, 1934, p. 218) was used for this church. The bluish-gray stone was a coarsely crystalline, and at least partly metamorphosed, limestone known commercially as a marble. Rock-faced blocks were used for the church. Green slate was used for the roof while red slate covered the large octagonal dome.

Interior: Red interior columns were said to resemble Scotch granite.

Remarks: The architect described the stone used for this church as having "a very fine crystalline effect."
