Description

[edit | edit source]

The complex consists of the church, rectory / parsonage, school, and cloister. The church was designed in 1916 by architect Thomas Henry Poole (1860–1919) and completed in 1919. It is a large brick Romanesque-style building in the basilican plan. It features a standing seam copper-roofed dome and a bell tower. The rectory is a 2+12-story brick building built in 1939. The cloister also dates to 1939 and connects the rectory to the sanctuary. It features a 1938 statue of the patron Saint Benedict Joseph Labre. The brick school building was built in 1912 and substantially enlarged in 1938–1939.[2]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.[1]
