Built in 1847 as St. John's Roman Catholic Church, and designed by Victor Schulte, the Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist is one of the oldest churches in Milwaukee. It originally had a different, shorter tower; the present tower was built in 1892, designed by Ferry and Clas. Much of the church was destroyed in a fire in 1935.
