Faith Temple, Rapid City South Dakota


This Rapid City protestant church is built in the Federal Revival style of architecture more common to courthouses.  Otherwise, I know nothing else about it.

First Presbyterian Church, Rapid City, South Dakota


Sometimes a modern architectural feature can really mess up the photographing of an older one, and this church provides such an example.

 This is The First Presbyterian Church in Rapid City, South Dakota. The classic Gothic style church is in the downtown region of Rapid City, and unfortunately the area is dominated by some sort of odd communications tower, which makes photographing the entire building difficult.


I don't know the age of this particular church.

Immaculate Conception Church, Rapid City South Dakota





This is Immaculate Conception Church (formerly chapel) in downtown Rapid City, South Dakota. This Catholic church is somewhat unique for the region in that it says its masses, one daily and one on Sunday morning, in Latin, using the Tridentine Mass.

The church obviously once had another name, as the corner stone reveals, which appears to have been St. Mary's, but I do not know the history of this particular church.

Cathedral of Our Lady of Perpetual Help Roman Catholic Cathedral



This Cathedral's exterior, while impressive in its own right, is a bit deceptive as the interior is extremely impressive and very large. This is the Roman Catholic Cathedral for the Diocese of Rapid City, South Dakota.
