Saint Joseph Rectory
Built in 1889
This is a private Residence.
St. Joseph's Church Rectory, erected in 1889, is a compound massed plan, two-story, asymmetrical composition constructed of brick with a shallow pitched, hipped roof. The widely overhanging eaves occur above a broad frieze and are supported by large corner brackets flanking decorative modillions.
The Rectory, built at a cost of $3,600, replaced an earlier frame dwelling. The church maintains an active role in the community. The St. Joseph's Church complex is an excellent example of high style ecclesiastical architecture designed by one of Michigan's most prominent church architects. It symbolizes the long and active role of the church in Adrian.
Visit Instructions:Take a photo of your GPS at the marker. We'd prefer a photo of you with your GPS, but we realize that sometimes that's just not possible or preferable.
Also include a bit about your visit to the marker.
NEW: Instructions for logging Missing Marker Visits.
If the Marker is missing, but still listed here, you must provide a photo of you at the actual item historically honored. (This should be the waymark's "default" image). Indicate in your log that you took your photo at the Historical Location instead of the marker, because the marker was missing. Please also still include a bit about your visit to the site.
