Description

Title	Davis Street - 216 - St Mary's School under construction
File Name	GPNC.01.382
Date of Original	1904
Description	In 1870, a second Catholic church was established in Mineral Point when the German members of St Paul's formed St Mary's parish. They built a frame church and rectory in 1870 and a frame school building in 1871. In 1901, the frame church was replaced by the Romanesque Revival brick building visible in this image. In 1904, local contractors Herman Enzenroth and the Ellery brothers constructed a two story red brick vernacular replacement for the frame school, to "correspond with the church". The construction of the brick school is shown in this image, with the lower floor near completion.
