The Church of Saint Stephen is a historic Roman Catholic church in the Whittier neighborhood of Minneapolis in the U.S. state of Minnesota. This neighborhood is where entrepreneurs and businessmen built their mansions in the modern-day Washburn-Fair Oaks Mansion District. The building was built with sandstone, brick, concrete, and copper in 1889–1891.[1]
It was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.[1] It is considered significant as an early and well-preserved example of a Richardsonian Romanesque/Romanesque Revival church.[2]
History[edit]
The parish was founded in the 1880s to serve a largely Irish immigrant population. As of 2013, St. Stephen's was one of the fastest growing parishes in Minneapolis due to the influx of Latino Catholics into the Twin-cities area.[3]
