St. Patrick's Roman Catholic Church
Built in 1912-1914, this church is a fine example of the Gothic Revival
style, long favoured for ecclesiastical design in Canada. Gothic Revival churches
were inspired by those of medieval Europe in plan, composition, and use of
pointed openings, window tracery and buttresses. The paired towers and rose
windows of this reinforced concrete church reveal the influence of the French
Gothic Revival, while the pale, smooth surfaces are characteristic of the 20th
century. ~ text of plaque
