Item Detail:
15. COMMUNICATION/DEMOLITION, Anne Louro, Preservation Planner, to City Council, re: BUILDING DEMOLITION REVIEW of 890 BROCK AVENUE, (MAP 15/LOT 167), a Circa 1947 wood-framed, former St. Anne’s Church building and 45 SALISBURY STREET, (MAP 15/LOT 154), a Circa 1899/1905 wood-framed and masonry school buildings, advising that “Saint Anne’s Church (1947) and Saint Anne’s School (1899/1905) are both eligible to be listed on the National Register of Historic Places; the buildings are associated with the City’s French-Canadian population which migrated here in the late 19th century to work in the textile mills; the construction of the Church and its associated buildings by the Fall River Diocese in the south end of the City is relevant to the broad cultural, economic, political and social history of the City; the Church building is architecturally significant, a fine example of the Neoclassical style, serves as an architectural landmark, and is a placemaking gateway into the City’s peninsula”, “considering these findings, the Preservation Planner has determined the following: St. Anne’s Church building is NOT seventy-five (75) years old and is NOT REGULATED by the Demolition Delay Ordinance; St. Anne’s school buildings are severely deteriorated and will no longer retain historical context due to the planned demolition of the associated Church building. The Preservation Planner has determined that the school buildings at 45 Salisbury Street are neither Historically Significant nor Preferably Preserved Structures.”
