St. Patrick's Parish is the oldest Roman Catholic Parish in South Bend. It was initially established on Western Avenue. The present church property was purchased in 1882, the cornerstone was laid in 1886 and the Gothic Brick and limestone structure was completed in 1887. The entry porch is surmounted by two center Gothic brick arches supported by two Romanesque columns. The main facade includes a magnificent rose window; and is flanked by two outstanding unequal towers with steeples. The north entry tower has extraordinary brick panels, pinnacles, engaged piers, and blind arcades. The walls are primarily yellow brick with red brick banding on the lower level of the facade. There are also brick pier buttresses with cut stone capping. The side walls of six bays and octagonal apse contain high double windows within brick Gothic openings and ornate nineteenth-century glazing.
