Summary

Saints Peter and Paul Catholic Church Complex (including church-1903, school-1910, and rectory-1926) is located in Bow Valley. The church is the only example of a Romanesque Revival church in Cedar County. It has massive articulated wall structures, round arches, and vaulted ceilings. The rectory is a fine example of a Four Square; the simple design is devoid of ornamentation. The school is a Colonial Revival structure. These buildings, combined with the cemetery and grotto, create an astonishingly intact Catholic complex.
