Summary[edit]

Description
English: Built in 1915 and expanded in 1930, this complex of Renaissance Revival and Tudor Revival-style buildings serves as the parish school for Holy Cross Parish, replacing an earlier set of buildings on the same site, including the original Holy Cross Church and School, which were demolished to make way for the buildings. The 1915 school building features a dark red wire brick exterior, gabled parapets, buff brick accents and trim, decorative stone trim accents, decorative stone surrounds at the two entry doors, a rusticated stone base, replacement windows, a large copper cross mounted on the arched central parapet gable, stone sills, a large paved playground int eh front, and the original double-hung one-over-one wooden windows in the basement. The building served as the Holy Cross Catholic School for all grades until 1930, when the original Holy Cross Church next door, which had supplementary classrooms and assembly space, was demolished. In the place of the old church the Holy Cross High School building was constructed in the Tudor Revival style, featuring a red brick exterior, towers topped with eagle sculptures and subtle Art Deco overtures at the two entrance doors, stone trim, stone lintels, and stone sills, arched stained glass transoms over the entrance doors, buttresses, angled bricks at the parapets of the towers supporting stone pinnacles above, a concrete base, with the building formerly housing a gym/auditorium space, which was vertically divided and converted into additional classroom space upon the construction of the MSGR. Thomas B. Finn Activity Center in 1960. The buildings continue to serve as a catholic school for the Holy Cross Parish, and were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986, along with the adjacent church, rectory, and convent.
