PGK Art: St. John’s the Evangelist Roman Catholic Church; built across the street from the front gate to Union College in 1899-1904. Designed by architect Edward W. Loth, its high, sharp-pointed arches and gables and clustered columns stamp its architecture as unmistakably gothic. The altitude from the ground to the ball surmounting the spire and supporting the cross is a trifle over 220 feet. The principal tower rises from the center of the structure. It is 12-sided and rests upon a 12-sided lantern or clear story. There are also 12-sided smaller towers, one at each corner of the building, spanning a height of 120 feet.
