Martin A. Carr

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Martin A. Carr was an Irish born architect, educated in England who was well known for his designs of Chicago area churches.[1] His designs include:

  • St. Charles on 12th street
  • St. Michael's on Washington
  • St. Basil/Visitation
  • Immaculate Conception

An avid reader of British art and Gothic Revivalist John Ruskin, some of his designs such as for Visitation have a very unusually sophisticated design.[2]
