St. Alphonsus School |
| Address: | 127 W Saratoga St. |
| Standing? Yes | Year: 1874 |
St Alphonsus Hall, originally erected in 1847, burned in 1873 and was rebuilt on the same site shortly thereafter. The school, which in 1998 marked 150 years at its present location, had been merged with the Basilica School and served 210 pupils, almost entirely African Americans from all over the city and surrounding counties. Besides providing the building rent-free, St. Alphonsus Shrine also subsidized the school at the level of $5,000 annually, although not a single pupil was from the parish. Unfortunately, the school closed its doors in June, 2002 but is currently being rehabbed as condos. |
