| Additional Information: | Part of the St. Joseph Catholic Church Complex, the Medical Clinic is connected to the church. A portion of this building was the original 1848 church which was incorporated into a school builing in 1917 with a new facade. The buliding is two stories in height; it features two large wings which extend to the lot line and flank a recessed entryway. The facades feature randomly coursed limestone while other elevations are a mixture of regularly coursed limestone and brick. Because of the remodeling, this building does not contribute to the significance of the property. Over the years, this building was extended and converted to a parish hall, a school, and finally a medical clinic. |
