Description

Also known as St. Charles Borromeo Catholic Church, the church was built by Nicholas F. Wirtzberger at cost of $7,200. Among its distinctive elements is a stamped-metal belfry constructed in an ornate symmetrical plan.[2]

It is the second church building of the parish; the first parish church was the first Catholic church in Idaho east of Boise. A surviving window from the first church building can be viewed at the Reinheimer Barn on Highway 75 south of Ketchum. The parish was considered the mother church of southeastern Idaho.[2]

The complex was listed on the National Register in 1982. The listing included two contributing buildings.[1]
