St. Agnes Belltower (Cleveland, Ohio)

 church, belfry, Roman Catholic church
St. Agnes' Church in Cleveland was one of John T. Comes' finest works, a Romanesque revival building in gray stone roofed in terracotta tiles. Its interior contained marbles and frescoes and was lit by large stained-glass windows.

St. Agnes' Church was demolished on November 24, 1975 after it was decided necessary repairs after a fire would be too expensive. The parish was combined with Our lady of Fatima. All that remains of Comes' church is its belltower, rising alone from an empty lot.

  • My Mother related to me a story, that my Grandmother, Agnes M, (Baldwin) Sweeney was the first Agnes baptised in St. Agnes Church. She lived from 1897 to 1982.
