Description
This beautiful church is St. Peter's Roman Catholic Church, which lights up at night in the lovely old town of The Dalles, OR, overlooking the Columbia River and I-84 East. This church was completed in 1898 in the Gothic Revival style. The steeple rises to a height of 176 feet and is surrounded by a cross and a six-foot tall cock weathervane. Stained glass windows, a tin ceiling cover embossed with abstract floral designs, painted portrait medallions, an altar of Carrara marble, and a pipe organ of rare tigerwood are noteworthy features of the interior. This landmark was saved from destruction by citizens' action in 1970 and now represents the cultural and artistic community of The Dalles in the late 1800s.
