Description
Photo
taken
in
late
1930s
.
St
Raphael
Church
is
located
at
225
East
High
Street
, at the
corner
of
Spring
Street
, in
Springfield
.
Designed
by
architect
Charles
A.
Cregar
,
construction
on this
Gothic
style
brick
building
began
in
1848
.
Construction
on a
very
large
addition
began
in
1892
, and was
officially
completed
with the
dedication
in
1898
. This
historic
Roman
Catholic
church
has a
184
foot
tower
, and a
somewhat
smaller
one
holding
a
16
,
000
pound
bell
. The
stained
glass
windows
,
created
by
Mayer
of
Munich
, were
designed
in the
twelfth-century
manner
. In
1976
,
it
was
added
to the
National
Register
of
Historic
Places
.
Entering
the the
frame
on the
left
is
St
.
Raphael
Church
elementary
School
(formerly
the
old
Post
Office)
. This
3-story
stone
building
,
built
in
1890
,
began
as the
United
States
Post
Office
with a
construction
cost
of
$150
,
000
.
Sometimes
just
called
the
United
States
Building
,
it
was
designed
by
Charles
Creager
in the
Romanesque
style
. By
1898
the
space
had
become
inadequate
and
funding
was
received
to
begin
renovations
. An
axillary
station
was
established
in the
Crowell
Publishing
building
until
expansions
were
complete
. A
new
Post
Office
was
built
in
1934
at
150
North
Limestone
,
which
is
probably
when
the
old
Post
Office
became
the
Saint
Raphael
Church
elementary
school
.
Formerly
located
on the
corner
of
East
High
and
South
Spring
Streets
, the
building
was
demolished
in the
1960s
to
create
more
room
for
Parish
parking
.
