St. Paul's Episcopal Church (Beloit, Wisconsin)

Windows and doors are topped with pointed arches, the hallmark of Gothic Revival style.

Other elements of that style are the buttresses and the emphasis on the vertical in the openings, the finials, and the spire on the steeple - all pointing toward heaven.

Above the steeple rises an graceful octagonal spire topped with a cross 100 feet above the ground.

The first service was held in December 1851 and the finished church was consecrated by Bishop Jackson Kemper in 1856.

The NRHP nomination considers it "an outstanding example of early Gothic Revival architecture constructed of native Wisconsin limestone."
