Description
Interior view of St. Francis de Sales church in Muskegon, Michigan designed by Marcel Breuer and Herbert Beckhard and completed 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.
