Description
Mary Queen of Heaven Catholic Church in Sprague, Washington was originally built in 1883. The current church was built in a Gothic Revival style and erected in 1902, just south of the site of the original church and blessed by the Bishop of Nesqually. It was placed on the National Register of Historic Places by the U.S. Department of Interior in 1990.
I worked as a Park Ranger at Ft Spokane in Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area for three summers. Ft Spokane was established as a military base in 1883, so I can imagine some of the soldiers might have gone to the church, perhaps as a break from the hum-drum life at the fort.
