The DeCurtins family, sometimes written De Curtins , were involved in Midwestern U.S. church architecture. Anton De Curtins (J. A. De Curtins) was a Swiss immigrant who lived in Carthagena, Ohio and designed several Gothic Revival architecture churches in Mercer County, Ohio , as well as rectories , schools and residences. Anton was a master carpenter , and with his sons he directed the building and decorating of the steepled churches that "still shine across the surrounding flatness of the Northwestern Ohio landscape".[ 2]
Anton designed St. Aloysius' Catholic Church in Carthagena, one of Swiss missionary priest Francis de Sales Brunner 's churches for German Catholics in far western Ohio's Land of the Cross-tipped Churches .
Anton's grandson Frederick designed Immaculate Conception High School (1933) in Celina, Ohio .[ 2]
