Does anyone know who designed Saint Louis the King Catholic Church?

Budweiser, the KING of Beers is from St. Louis. Does that help? Must be an eastside parish, never heard of it.

Certainly not the definitive answer...but the architect name that appears to be aligned with St. Louis the King Church is Walter J. Rozycki.

He definitely was active at the time that St. Louis the King Church was built in 1955 and was involved in the temporary church structure prior to the new church building. He also designed a number of other Catholic churches and schools in Detroit.

Corrado Parducci did the sculptural details at St. Louis the King Church.

Cool Kathleen I had lost the reference to Rozycki. Also Joseph G Kastler designed the school in 1923.

Some sketchy Google research shows other churches and schools by Ryzicki include:

St. Ignatius
Resurrection
Shrine Chapel of Our Lady of Orchard Lake
St. Florian Education Center and Convent
St. Andrew
Ascension Church
Notre Dame High School

From what I can tell, it was a family business, which looks like it is still in business:
Walter J Rozycki & Associates 17206 Harper Ave Detroit, MI 48224.

In case anyone wonders exactly what church is being discussed here [[I certainly did), it is this beauty, built in 1959, on 7 Mile just east of Mound Rd.
