Monroe City Visitor Center - St. Jude's Episcopal Church - Monroe City, Missouri - This Old Church on Waymarking.com

"The St. Jude's Episcopal Church, 311 Main Street, Monroe City, is an asymmetrical, one-story Gothic Revival style building constructed of limestone. The building's present appearance dates from 1904 when a two-story bell tower was added to the southwest end of the rectangular main block. The main block was constructed in 1867, and in 1877 a south transept was added to the gable-roofed building. The foundation, load bearing walls and buttresses are limestone with sandstone details. Gothic Revival details include crenellation, stepped buttresses and lancet windows with stained glass. Built with exposed rafter ceilings and decorated with furnishings carved with medieval design motifs, the interior also reflects characteristic details of the style. Surrounded on three sides by mixed residential units, and bordered on the south by a commercial district, the church itself is located on a relatively flat lot with a scattering of trees and other vegetation. The property is in good condition and the integrity of the setting and building has been retained with little change since the early 1900s." - National Register Nomination

The church building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.

The building now serves as the Monroe City Visitors Center.
