Its steeply pitched complex roof with a dominant front-facing gable, the corner tower, and patterned shingles are also characteristic of the style.  The integration of some classical elements (notably the pedimented entry) was common in the later stage of Queen Anne.  Queen Anne is an unusual expression for ornamental concrete block in Colorado.  Although pattern books and builders’ catalogs included some Queen Anne examples, most concrete block construction in our state relied on more simplified styles.  This is the only ornamental concrete block public building in Alamosa.  The building also has the distinction of being the oldest standing church in Alamosa.  This property is associated with the Ornamental Concrete Block in Colorado Multiple Property Submission.
