More information:

The 1941 white Art Deco concrete Cathedral of the Holy Spirit in Bismarck, North Dakota was designed by Fargo architect William F. Kurke. It is believed to be the only Art Deco-style cathedral in the United States. The church opened in August 1945, but its interior decoration and some of its furnishings were added in later years. A renovation from 1992 to 1993 added a gathering space (left), which reflects the cathedral's Art Deco style. The cathedral's tall bell tower is a local landmark that is visible from a distance.
