Abstract
The St. Peter’s Catholic Church and Parish House was originally built in 1852. Patrick C. Keely originally designed the building. Antonio Bologna was the architect in charge of the restoration in 1986. The church is located at 190 Adams Avenue in Downtown Memphis. The exterior is made of stucco, but it is designed to look like stone. The church is a perfect example of Gothic Revival architectural style. It features a tower on each side of the façade. There are large stained glass windows surrounded by pointed arches. There are two small spires on either side of the front entrance which top engaged columns. There is a cornice, and many bas relief details. There are leaded glass windows, bull’s eye windows, and blind windows. To learn more see Memphis: An Architectural Guide by Eugene J. Johnson.
