About Old St. Mary's Church Tempe
Located in Tempe, Arizona, at 230 East University Avenue, Old St. Mary's Church (originally Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church) was built in 1903. Father Severin Westhoff designed it in the Romanesque Revival style. No other church in the Phoenix metropolitan area has stood as long. It is the sole Romanesque Revival building around Tempe and one of a few across Arizona.
Until 1968 it was the Catholic parish church for Tempe; that year it became the home of the Arizona State University Newman Center, and it later housed Mary College at ASU, a Catholic Studies center. Its listing in the National Register of Historic Places dates from 1978. It stands in place of an 1881 adobe chapel that had started as a mission serving Mexican residents of San Pablo, a village at the foot of Hayden Butte.
Its bricks were fired from clay tinted by the red soil of Fort McDowell, and the foundation uses stone quarried at the butte's base. Two trained bricklayers came from Phoenix; everyone else on the building crew volunteered. The footprint is roughly 77 by 40 feet (23 by 12 meters), with a steep gabled roof and a bell tower, square in plan, topped by an octagonal steeple. Twelve tall arched stained glass windows light the building.
