History

The Gothic Revival-style church was designed by Patrick Keely and built 1867–71 to serve the area's Irish Catholic population. The complex also includes a clergy house (1881), school (1897), and convent (1868). [2] All were listed on the National Register of Historic Places as St. Charles Borromeo Church Complex in 1983.
