Built in 1888 as the First Christian Church, this Gothic Revival-style building was sold to the Roman Catholic Diocese of Lincoln in 1904 to serve as a cathedral, and underwent significant renovations and suffered a major fire in 1906, with the renovations to building being completed in 1908. The building features a painted brick exterior, a gabled roof, two towers of varying heights with octagonal spires, gothic arched bays, stained glass windows, buttresses, recessed entrance portals, pinnacles, brick corbeling, and a rough-hewn stone base. The building today serves as St. Mary’s Catholic Church, as a new cathedral was constructed in southwest Lincoln during the mid-20th Century.
