Additional Information: | Attached one-story circa 1960s Berlin Catholic School at rear. This religious facility was built in 1927, replacing an earlier structure. Founded in 1885, St. Michael's congregation was formed to serve the city's Polish Catholics that lived west of the Fox River. It was organized by Father Czarnowski, pastor of St. Stanislaus Catholic Church, the church of which was located on the east side of the river. The first, wooden church was erected in 1885 ad the same location as the present facility. By 1895, St. Michael's was operating an elementary school just west of the church. By 1911, a new school was built to the rear of the school. This was subsequently replaced with the current, circa 1960s school building which extends from the rear of the present church building. Likely, at approximately the same time as the new school was built, the current rectory, a brick and stone ranch house, was built at 320 SW Franklin. |
