History

The school building itself was erected in 1934 with funds from St Katharine Drexel, and was roughly doubled in size in 1940, with other additions dating to the 1950s.

The original 1934 building was a small frame rectangular building with a small portico. The interior consisted of a single classroom.

In 1940, two school buildings of three rooms, from a closed school, were attached to the left and to the right of the original one. In 1953, another classroom was added to the rear. In the mid 1950s, a kitchen/cafeteria was added to the south side of the building. [2] [3]

Other three buildings inside the complex are closely related to the school and are considered contributing properties of the 3.31 acres (1.34 ha) historic area: [2] [3]

The Saint Francis Xavier Mission, in Lewis County, Washington three miles north of present-day Toledo, Washington, was the first Catholic mission in what is now the U.S. state of Washington and is now the oldest Catholic church in the state. The first Mass (liturgy) was offered there December 16, 1838, by François Norbert Blanchet, who co-founded the mission with Modeste Demers, Although that is considered the founding date, the mission cemetery predates the mission as such, having been started by the Hudson's Bay Company approximately in 1831. The mission, which originally occupied 640 acres of Cowlitz Prairie, is also known as the Cowlitz Mission and, especially by members of the Cowlitz Indian Tribe, as Saint Mary's after a girl's boarding school that operated there from 1911 to 1973.
