Here are some photos of the current status of St. Francis House. St. Francis House was the rectory of Holy Cross for many years as well as the home of the parish offices. However, the building structure had deteriorated to a level where it was unsafe for habitation, so the building was recently comdemned and slated for demolition. However, due to the amount of asbestos in the building that had to be removed, demolition had to be delayed. Now that the asbestos has been removed, the structure is slated for knockdown soon. The congregation of Holy Cross holds fond memories for St. Francis House and will miss it greatly.
This shot is the building post-asbestos and ready for demolition.
These shots were taken while the building was isolated for asbestos removal.
