The St. Patrick's Mission Church in northwest Denver is an example of the Spanish Colonial Revival style.

Reflecting the Mission style, the roof is covered with red barrel tiles, and the domes which cap the towers are of painted sheet metal.  The complex, designed by the Denver architectural firm of Wagner and Manning, was begun in 1907 and completed in 1910.  At the time of its construction, the Mission style was considered unusual in the city of Denver, although reflective of its western character.
