St. Joseph's Catholic Church (Owensboro, Kentucky)

The St. Joseph Catholic Church in Owensboro, Kentucky, United States was a historic church at 4th and Clay Streets which was built in 1878 and demolished in 1989. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.It was deemed "significant as the best example of the Gothic Revival style of architecture in Owensboro and as the focal institution in the history of the German Roman Catholic community of Owensboro and Daviess County."In 1948, the parish of St. Joseph was combined with the nearby Irish-American parish of St. Paul to form Sts. Joseph and Paul parish by Bishop Francis Cotton. St. Paul church was larger and newer so it was used as the main church. Regular services at St. Joseph ended in 1978. The church was only used for mass on special occasions until 1984 when a fire damaged the St. Paul church. St. Joseph was then used for regular mass until St. Paul's rededication in 1986.The sixteen stained-glass windows of the church were gifted by the Diocese of Owensboro to the Owensboro Museum of Fine Arts in 1989 before the church was razed. The windows were created and painted by Emil Frei in the guild tradition and installed in the church between 1900 and 1910. The twelve largest windows are sixteen feet tall by four feet wide. The Frei family helped to restore the windows after the move.It was a front-gable brick structure with a bell tower and eight-sided spire. It was 43 by 86 feet (13 m × 26 m) in plan.Photographs of the church can be found here: six photos from 1977.

Yewell House
Yewell House

The Yewell House, at 630 Clay St. in Owensboro, Kentucky, was built in 1894. It is Queen Anne in style. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.It was deemed significant in 1986 "as an outstanding example of the Queen Anne style of architecture. It was built in 1894 by wealthy tobacco farmer Franklin Yewell who moved to Daviess County from Nelson County. Yewell constructed this house when he was 70 years old and lived in it only a few more years after its completion. His widow lived there until 1928 and at her death it went to their son Dr. A. S. Yewell, a prominent physician, who lived there another thirty years. It remained in the Yewell family for a total of 72 years and is now owned by an architect who uses it for a multi-family residence."It is a two-story, brick house with "the unusual feature of front, side and rear gables. A rusticated stone effect is used for the front wall and the foundation of the front porch. The projecting front gable has a one-story bay window with rectangular windows. A bracketed cornice runs along the roofline of the bay and a section of the original metal cresting rises above this. Balancing the bay window is a one-story wood porch with simple columns and spindles. This porch provides access to the main entrance to the residence. This porch is also topped by metal cresting. An interesting wall texture is created by brick corbelling that runs across the front, side and rear of the house creating a double-arched window on the second floor. Brick patterning outlines the peaks of each of the gables. There are also small-arched windows in the peak of each gable. The hipped roof is covered by a standing seam metal roof."
