Saint Joseph's Catholic Church is a church located at 5899 County Road 669 near Maple City, Michigan and east of Glen Arbor, Michigan. It was constructed in 1884 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.^[1]

History

Saint Joseph's Catholic Church was built in 1884 by Bohemian immigrants.^[2] The tower was added in 1899, and small additions to the rear were constructed in the 1940s. It was, and still is, the only church in the relatively unpopulated Cleveland Township. The church was used by the Catholic congregation until 1970, when the Saint Joseph parish was merged with a neighboring one. The church is still owned by the parish, and is available for weddings.^[3]

Description

The St. Joseph Catholic Church is a vernacular wood frame building, covered with clapboards, with a gable roof and on a concrete block foundation.^[2] A three-part tower, defined by sawtooth-cut, vertical-board frieze bands, is located in the center of one gable. The upper section of the tower contains a belfry topped with a pyramidal roof.
