Description
View of unidentified structure at the construction site of St, Francis de Sales church in Muskegon, Michigan, designed by Breuer and Beckhard in 1967. "The facade of the church, or "banner" as it is sometimes referred to, evolves from a simple trapezoidal plan, narrow at its base and widening as it rises some seventy-five feet in height. In the center of the vast gray expanse of the front wall is a bold cross set in relief. Above this, the church's bells are suspended between two concrete arms that cantilever out from the roof ridge,"--Michigan Modern website.
