According to library records, construction began on St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Lanesville in 1856, and construction<br />
was completed in 1864. The interior, shown above, was renovated in 1940 to include gold leaf detailing and electric<br />
lights. In July of 1948, building’s interior was destroyed by a fire caused by lightening, but the church was rebuilt using<br />
the remaining exterior walls.<br />
