St. Anthony of Padua Church, Wilmington
Saint Anthony of Padua Church, built in 1924, is situated at 9th and DuPont Streets. It is a Roman Catholic church, which originally served Italians in the area at the beginning of the 20th century. This large Romanesque Revival building was constructed by Italian immigrants over a period of seven years. Saint Anthony's School adjoins the church. The belfry tower was added to the building in 1938, and the stained glass windows were installed two years later. Saint Anthony of Padua is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Every year the church holds a week-long Italian Festival dedicated to the Feast of Saint Anthony.
