Architecturally significant, the St Michael's Catholic Church exemplifies the Gothic Revival style of architecture, which was evident in Nebraska during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Probably the most distinguishing characteristic of the Gothic style is the pointed arch used in window and door openings. Most buildings are large, entailing heavy construction materials and techniques. Designs for church plans are typically of the nave and aisle type, most incorporating transepts. Towers, incorporated into the church design, dominate the front facades and may or may not have steeples. Buttresses, corbelling, pinnacles, and copings, are examples of structural and decorative elements used in the architectural design of Gothic churches. - NRHP
