Description
This is the front view of the St. Mary's Church in Fredericksburg, Texas. St. Mary's Catholic Church began with a handful of German immigrants in 1846 and, since then, has been a continually growing spiritual family. Rapid membership growth during the late 19th century prompted the church to complete plans for a new sanctuary in 1901. This gothic-inspired native stone structure was designed by prominent San Antonio architect Leo M. Dielmann and built by contractor Jacob Wagner in 1906. It features an asymmetrical front facade with a dominant corner tower and spire containing three bells transferred from the nearby 1863 sanctuary.
