Very sad the Altars (high and side) fell victim to the "fruits of Vatican II". I'm sure they were splendid as begins a church such as this.

Although the influence of the French Gothic style is evident (as opposed to English or Italian Gothic), I'm not so sure I would classify St. Mary Church as "Flemish Gothic". If anything, I would simply say it is American Neo-Gothic (or maybe Gothic Revival, although I don't see anything particularly English or Victorian in the building as one would expect in a Gothic Revival styled building). I see what you're saying about the twin spires and their connection to Cologne Cathedral, but that this church is "modeled after" Cologne Cathedral is a bit rich. Nevertheless, it is (or at least was) a lovely church. Sad to see it in such a state of decay. It is also regrettable that St. Mary Church fell victim to the ravages of the Vatican II iconoclasts.
