Description

The St. Gabriel's complex consists of the church (1925), rectory (1907-1908), and former convent (1937). The church is a high French Gothic Revival steel frame building clad in pink granite ashlar with Indiana limestone trim. It features twin bell towers with triple entrance portals at the front facade. The rectory is a three-story, wood frame building in the Colonial Revival style. The convent was designed by noted architect Anthony J.
