St. Mary's Rectory

St. Mary's Rectory, 516 9th Avenue South; 1896; Josiah L. Rice, architect, of Clinton.A large, two and one-half story rectory, the building has brick exterior walls with stone window lintels. A corner tower with turret and wraparound wood front porch are notable features of the design. Of Queen Anne Style with Romanesque Style overtones, the design—through simple handling of the walls, window openings and use of brick-creates a handsome, imposing yet warm and humanly scaled structure that is appropriate for a church rectory.
