St. Joseph Catholic Church is at the heart of the St. Joseph Historic District. The church was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975 because of its artistic and historic significance. The Parish was founded in 1859 to serve the needs of Irish Catholic immigrants, brought to Bowling Green with the construction of the railroad. The Gothic style church was constructed in three stages over a 30 year period, being dedicated finally in 1889. The first pastor, Reverend Joseph DeVries, is said to have been inspired in the church's design by the cathedral church of Cologne, Germany. Father DeVries died three months after the church's dedication, and in deference to his wishes, is interred in a vault under the old high altar. The Gothic interior has been redecorated and judiciously adapted several times since 1889 to meet the needs of a thriving Catholic community.
