Calvary Presbyterian Church (Calvary Church) is located in the Marquette University district of downtown Milwaukee, Wisconsin. It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1986.[1]
Description
The building was designed by Milwaukee architect Henry C. Koch in Gothic Revival style and built in 1870. The body of the structure is Cream City brick, a distinct light colored brick kilned from local clay, with limestone accents and sits on a rusticated stone base. The exterior has since been painted a bright red color.
Calvary Church features an indoor prayer labyrinth laid into the floor. Its design was inspired by a 12th-century labyrinth found at the Cathedral of Chartres in Chartres, France, and has eleven circuits with a rosette center.
