Summary
St. Anthony's Church, located in Cedar Rapids, was constructed in 1919 in the Rundbogenstil style, from designs by architect Jacob Nachtigall. The church was built during a time when first generation immigrants felt the need to show their prosperity, and give thanks for their good fortune by building grand religious institutions. St. Anthony's school (1911 and 1926) is a typical multi-story example of a Catholic school type built in many Catholic communities across the state during the first quarter of the twentieth century.
