St Joseph’s Academy was closed in 1964 and was used by the Sisters of Notre Dame as a school for mentally challenged girls. When the sisters moved their school to Irving, the Pilot Club housed mentally challenged women until 1977.
Saint Joseph’s Church closed in 1975. In 1977 both the church and school building became Saint Andrew Kim, Korean Catholic Church. In 2007 the buildings were sold and Saint Andrew Kim moved to Farmer’s Branch.
The building currently is home to la terra studio which does landscape architecture and urban design.
