Martin A. Carr
Martin A. Carr was an Irish born architect, educated in England who was well known for his designs of Chicago area churches.[1] His designs include:
- St. Charles on 12th street

An avid reader of British art and Gothic Revivalist John Ruskin, some of his designs such as for Visitation have a very unusually sophisticated design.[2]
