Built in 1960, this Modern and Art Moderne-style church was designed by an unknown architect and built for the congregation of the First Christian Church of Fort Thomas, Kentucky.

The building is clad in red brick with a concrete base and gabled roof, buff brick and limestone trim, and several stained glass windows, steel windows, oxeye windows, and a tower with pilasters at the corners, buff brick panels, an octagonal top with a finial topped by a cross, a sanctuary with laminated wood columns and beams, and a wing to the side built between 1987 and 1990, designed by Hub + Weber Architects, which houses educational classrooms and features a red brick exterior, recessed portion of the gable, a semi-circular canopy over the side entrance, and one-over-one windows.

Built in 1962, this Modern building houses the congregation of St. Catherine of Siena Catholic Church, which was created to serve an area formerly served by various other parishes in more distant locations.

The houses, minus the one built in 2020, are contributing structures in the Fort Thomas Military Reservation Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.
