Holy Cross RC Church
Maryland and Seventh Sts.
Erected 1915

During the 1930s, with almost 18.000 members in the parish, an ambitious program for enlarging the church was initiated. In 1931, the current front to the church was added and in June, 1938 architect George J. Dietel drew up plans for further modifications to the building. The plans called for adding thirty-two feet to the rear of the building, increasing the capacity to 1.200 people. In addition, the interior was decorated with murals by Luigi Avoglio.
