Burlington evolves and immigrants bring gifts of knowledge…

By 1830 Burlington became one of the largest lumber industries in the country. Settlers from all over came to Burlington bringing with them innovation and outside views on architecture. Among the settlers were those of French-Canadian descent. In 1850 St. Joseph's in Burlington became the first French-Catholic parish in the United States. As immigrants continued to flock to the area a need for a larger church arose. By 1883 the decision was made to build a new church in a grand classical style inspired by St. Peter's in Rome. The prominent spire stands tall over Burlington’s north end and the chuch sprawls 176 feet in length and 81 feet wide and has barrel vaulted interior height of 55 feet.
