The Immaculate Conception Church, located at 528 Pyramid Way[2] in Sparks, Nevada, is a brick Roman Catholic church that was built in 1932. It was designed by prolific Nevada architect Frederic J. DeLongchamps (1882-1969) in Mediterranean Revival architecture.[1] As of 1994 it was still used as a church;[1][3] when photographed in 2014, it was operating under the name "Iglesia Cristiana Monte Sinai".[2]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.[1] It was deemed significant as the oldest surviving Catholic church in Sparks, as one of the first built in Nevada after the state became a diocese under 1931 decree of Pope Pius XI, and architecturally as a relatively rare use of Mediterranean Revival style in Nevada and "one of the many outstanding works" of DeLongchamps.[3]:6
Its original form is "somewhat obscured" by a 1970 addition of a vestibule and porch on the front, added to provide handicapped access, but the addition was designed to be compatible architecturally.[3]
