St. Mary's Catholic Church, Leo M. Dielmann, Architect 1906

            St. Mary's Catholic Church is a historic Roman Catholic church at 306 W. San Antonio in Fredericksburg, Texas.  It was built in 1906 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983. The building provided a new meeting place for the congregation, which previously met in the nearby 1863 church building.

A plaque on the front of the building reads, "Membership growth during the late 19th century prompted St. Mary's church to complete plans for a new sanctuary in 1901. This Gothic-inspired native stone structure was designed by prominent San Antonio architect Leo M. Dielmann and built by contractor Jacob Wagner in 1906. It features an asymmetrical front facade with a dominant corner tower and spire containing three bells transferred from the nearby 1863 sanctuary. Commemorative stained glass windows were installed in 1906 and 1914–17; altar windows portray Wagner's daughter and the son of an early parishioner."
