Original St. Adalbert Church, Grand Rapids, Michigan is Moved to Belmont, Michigan

*“St. Adalbert's first frame church was dedicated in May of 1882. 17 In the early 1900s a cathedral-type, twin-spired French-Gothic church was planned. 18 In 1907-1913, however, the present stone Michaelangelesquedomed, twin-towered church (a very visible landmark on the West Side so clearly viewed from the freeways) was not only blessed but consecrated since it was completed for $150,000 without incurring any indebtedness. It was patterned after the church in Tremessen, 35 miles ENE of Posen in German Poland, from whence came so many pioneer Grand Rapids Polanders.” The original St. Adalbert church was dismantled and moved from Grand Rapids, Michigan to Belmont, Michigan. ***** http://www.historygrandrapids.org/photo/1392/st-adalbert-church http://www.mipolonia.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/St.-Adalbert_1881-1981_Grand-Rapids_MI.pdf
