St. Michael's Catholic Church
202 N. McLeod, Cuero, TXSt. Michael's Parish was established in 1875 and a church was built on this property which was donated by the Cuero Land and Immigration Co. This structure, built in 1930-31, is the third to occupy the site. The first facility was sold to the 2nd Baptist Church (Colored) now the Macedonia Baptist Church and moved to its present site on S. Indianola (see Site No. 892). The present Catholic Church is an imposing structure with finely crafted Romanesque Revival detailing. Of all Cuero's historic churches, this is the most outstanding in scale, craftsmanship and ornamentation and is second only to the nearby DeWitt County Courthouse as the city's grandest architectural landmark.
