About
St. Anthony’s Roman Catholic Church
It took almost nine years to complete St. Anthony’s church but the results were well worth the wait. The meticulously crafted German Gothics Revival church commands as much attention today as it did more than a century ago when Milwaukeean’s praise it as a “magnificent” structure.
The impressive limestone walls of the church are a reminder of an old religious tradition in German church building. In the southern, predominantly Catholic area of Germany where many of St. Anthony’s original parishioners had their roots, the stone was the preferred building material for churches, because it was readily available. Churches in the northern, predominantly Protestant regions of Germany, were usually built of brick because of the good quality, local building stone was scarce and imported stone too expensive. Building St. Anthony’s in stone proven to be much more costly and labor-intensive the parishioners had anticipated, however, so construction had to stretch out over nearly a decade.
Entering the church is like taking a trip back to old Germany. The designs of the spectacular wooden altars and pulpit reflect the flamboyant ornamentation and architectural extravagance that is closely identified with their nineteenth-century German builders. The interior is especially noteworthy because it features dramatically arched plaster vaults in the ceiling that are divided by projecting bands called “ribs”. Rib vaulting is one of the rare opportunities in this country to experience this type of church architecture
