14035 Euclid Avenue, East Cleveland; construction began in 1908, dedicated in 1909; destroyed by fire in 1946, and rebuilt in 1949. Romanesque.

Exterior: The original stone for this church was Hummelstown brownstone, a reddish brown sandstone quarried in the Hummelstown area of Pennsylvania (Stone, 1932, p. 128). Other brownstone (Anonymous, 1960a), said to be from Berlin Heights (state unknown) (Davidson et al., 1966) or Holyoke, Massachusetts, was blended with this stone during rebuilding. Most of the stone is rock-faced random ashlar. The stone at the main entrance has a smooth facing and is set as random ashlar. A newer addition, on the west side of the church, has smoother, irregularly tooled blocks set as random coursed ashlar. Steps at the main entranceways are Indiana limestone. The platforms at the top of the stairs are sandstone, probably Berea Sandstone.
