Description: This image depicts a newspaper clipping talking about the new St. Ita building that was beginning to be built in 1923. The church was designed in the French Gothic style by Henry J. Schlacks. The church at the time cost $500,000 which in today's time (2024) costs $9,132,514.62. The church was being build on the northwest corner of Broadway and Catalpa. The church was allowed to be built after Rev. Crowe pleaded with Cardinal Mundelein. Henry J. Schlacks, the architect, designed not only the church itself but also the pulpit, and all of its furnishings inside.
