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".〔 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.〔Marilyn Joyce Segal Chiat (America's religious architecture: sacred places for every community ) Preservation Press Series Edition illustrated Publisher John Wiley and Sons, 1997 ISBN 978-0-471-14502-8. 465 pages, page 102〕 Anton's grandson Frederick designed Immaculate Conception High School (1933) in Celina, Ohio.〔Virginia Evans McCormick (Educational architecture in Ohio: from one-room schools and Carnegie libraries to community education villages ) Edition illustrated Publisher Kent State University Press, 2001 ISBN 978-0-87338-666-1. 318 pages, page 112, 113 (photo of school)〕 ==Projects by Anton DeCurtins (J.A.
