Building Notes: Church built 1915 - 1931
Architect was Henry A. Walsh of Cleveland
Twin towers and fleche completed in 1951
Architect firm was Diehl and Diehl Architects of Detroit (Walsh had died hence new architects)
Sanctuary expanded, cathedra, new baptismal font, seating in the transept 1998 - 2001
Architect was Gunnar Birkerts of Detroit
In the 1998 -2001 alterations by Birkerts, the altar was moved from the apse to the transept -- rather unusual -- that is why the floor plan looks a bit odd with the sanctuary extending through the transept.
