This striking photograph from 1937 is evocative of a quiet winter’s day. It shows St. Teresa’s Catholic Church in the snow, with iceglazed bare trees in the foreground. Construction of the church began in 1909 and the cornerstone was laid in 1910; the church was dedicated in 1911. It is an example of Late Victorian Romanesque Revival architecture. This style was widely used for churches constructed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. St. Teresa’s Catholic Church stands at 211 E. Fifth Street in Hutchinson and was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.
