The complex occupies most of a city block on a hill above Broad Street.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the complex is a locally significant example of early twentieth century religious architecture in Gothic Revival and Colonial Revival styles. The church is described as a high French Gothic Revival design by Peter B. Sheridan, with steel-frame construction, granite cladding and Mayer Cathedral Glass windows. The convent and church are presented as examples of work by prominent ecclesiastical architects, and the parish is tied to Hazleton's growth and Catholic immigrant population.","narrative":"Three church buildings built between 1907 and 1937 form a parish complex on a hill above Broad Street in Hazleton, Pennsylvania. The church, completed in 1925 to designs by Peter B. Sheridan, follows thirteenth-century French Gothic models, with twin bell towers, an ogee arch over the central portal and a wheel window. Its steel frame is clad in pink granite from Seisholtzville, and its windows were made by the Franz Mayer Studio of Munich. The Colonial Revival rectory of 1907-1908 has a two-story Corinthian portico and a large stairhall with an art glass skylight. The convent, designed by Anthony J. DePace and dedicated in 1937, was converted into apartments and offices in 1999. The complex is valued for its architecture and for its role in the growth of Hazleton's Catholic parish after coal mining expanded the city.","period_of_significance":"1907-1937","architect_builder":"Sheridan, Peter B.; DePace, Anthony J.; Hoe, James C.
