Founded in 1903, the cornerstone of Assumption Church was laid in 1904. The first mass was held on January 1, 1905. In 1924, land was purchased to erect a new church. The architect was Bellevue’s own Leo A. McMullen. The building was dedicated in 1931. The American Institute of Architects noted McMullen as one of “the six architects who shaped Pittsburgh.” It wasn’t until the 1940’s that this proud church added it’s stained glass windows, organ and baptismal font.
