Sandwiching in History Tour: Immaculate Heart of Mary Church

Join the AHPP for a free public tour of this historic site! Tour is in person on location but will also live-stream on Facebook under ARHistoricPreservation. Designed by architect Charles L. Thompson, this large, Gothic Revival-style church building was constructed in 1933 after two previous buildings had burned down. It was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. The community of Marche was founded by Polish immigrants in 1877, and the Roman Catholic church has always had a strong presence in this place. A school has been associated with the church since the early days. Its former building, a 1925 Craftsman-style, three-room schoolhouse, is also listed in the National Register.
