The most visible church building in the West End is Clayton's parish church St. Patrick's. This Gothic Revival church, built of brick and faced with stucco, is much more representative of Clayton's ecclesiastical use of Gothic architecture than Grace Episcopal Church (
GV41) . During the Storm of 1900, St. Patrick's 225-foot-high Ménard Memorial Tower was blown down onto the church, completely crushing the nave. Clayton's reconstruction was completed in 1902. The present tower, which is one hundred twenty feet tall and constructed of reinforced concrete, was built to Clayton's design in 1922, six years after his death. In 2009, in the aftermath of Hurricane Ike, the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston consolidated all eight parishes in Galveston and on the Bolivar Peninsula with St. Patrick's, which was rededicated to the Holy Family.
