This research and documentation project evaluates the architectural and historic significance of the St. Alphonsus Roman Catholic Church Complex for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. St. Alphonsus Church was founded as a German National Parish and operated by the Redemptorist Order of priests since 1882, providing religious, social, recreational, and educational opportunities in an imposing complex of five buildings occupying a full city block. The complex, composed of a Church, School, Athenaeum, Rectory, and Convent, is locally significant for its associations with German-American immigration and settlement in Chicago's Lakeview community area. The project includes a narrative description of the five properties and their surroundings, plus a statement of its historic and architectural significance during the period between 1882 and 1928. / Department of Architecture
