St. Mary's Catholic Church

Dayton, OH

 

St. Mary's Church is a Romanesque Revival structure built of brick and stone. Constructed in 1906 according to a design by John B. Vermont, the design features two massive clock towers on the three-bay façade. The church is a landmark because of the twin towers and has been used extensively as a navigational aid by aviators to find the runway at Wright Field, especially during World War II.

 

The church is still part of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati.
