Exterior photograph of St. Joseph Polish Church located in Denver, Colorado. The Gothic style church was constructed in 1902 to serve members of the Polish immigrant community living in the early Denver suburb of Globeville. The walls are of brick, the window and door openings are set in pointed arches, and the front gabled roof is steeply pitched. The facade is distinguished by a central narthex, which includes a tall bell tower that is topped with a conical spire. St. Joseph's was the twelfth Catholic parish in Denver, and it also served members of the Croatian and Slovenian families living in the area.
