St. Mary´s Rectory

Wayne County · dedicated 1980 · 646 Monroe Avenue, Detroit

Constructed in 1876, this North Italian banded Romanesque structure was designed by Swiss architect Julius Hess. It is the second rectory building of St. Mary´s Parish, which was organized in 1835 under the leadership of Father Martin Kundig (1835-43). Following Father Kundig were the Redemptorist Fathers (1847-72), the Franciscan Fathers (1872-93), and the Holy Ghost Fathers, C.S.Sp. (1893 to the present). This edifice was completed under the guidance of the Franciscans. It also served as their monastery.
