Cicero, St. Mary of Czestochowa Church, outside view [Polish parishes and churches in Chicago]

The church was designed by the Worthmann and Steinbach company, popular in Chicago at the time. The studio prepared designs for many sacral buildings, in Chicago itself they had already designed St. Casimir, Our Lady of the Angels, St. Barbara and St. Hyacinth churches. Although the church is slightly less opulent than the most magnificent of the so-called “Polish cathedrals”,
the skillfully applied effect of the scale creates an impression of dominance over the surroundings.
