[edit] Description

The building was designed by architect Henry Koch in Gothic Revival style and built in 1870 using Cream City brick, a distinct light colored stone found locally. The exterior has since been painted a bright red color.

Calvary Church features an indoor prayer labyrinth laid into the floor. Its design was inspired by a 12th century labyrinth found at the Cathedral of Chartres in Chartres, France, and has eleven circuits with a rosette center.
