St. Mary's Church Reveals Original Brick | Lincoln News

St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Lincoln, Nebraska, is revealing its stunning 1888 architecture after a 60-year white paint cover-up—restoration crews are stripping away layers to expose original brick and red sandstone, uncovering hidden beauty that inspired them to leave it bare. Originally built as the First Christian Church, it became Lincoln’s cathedral until 1965 and still stands as a downtown landmark beside the State Capitol. The project, launched in 2021, aims for completion by spring 2027, restoring not just paint but history—one brick at a time.
